He's not a rookie on the field (hit 2017 boxes for his RCs) and he's certainly not a rookie collector, but San Diego Padres pitcher Matt Strahm is a bit of a newcomer to break videos ... but his are a little different than others out there.

His breaks? Well, they're done at the ballpark -- and part of a YouTube series called Strahm's Stadium Pulls that launched on Thursday.

The break of 2020 Bowman Sapphire was up first and was teased on his Twitter account before we caught up with him for some basics about his background in collecting and more in this Hobby Q&A.

Think a lot of Project 2020 baseball cards are made digitally? Think again. (Via @kingsaladeen | Instagram)

One thing you might assume about Topps Project 2020 is that many artists do their work digitally but that's not often the case and as you can see above that's definitely not the deal here.

That's the work of King Saladeen as he bought his Willie Mays card to life for the series and he teased it via his Instagram page.

"I wanted to show some of the process behind creating my latest card," he wrote with this behind-the-scenes image. "My goal is to add to each card, add some of my swag and vision from this present time. ... This Project was unreal to bring the new-school creators to another amazing arena. Art and sports both saved my life. Blessed to show the world my vision on so many different canvas."

If you're wondering , his canvas has included plenty of things -- vinyl bears, clothing, airport murals, traditional pieces and even millions of dollars in exotic sports cars.

We touched base with this West Philadelphia-born artist for a Hobby Q&A to learn a little more about his experience in Project 2020.

Tyson Beck is a name that collectors might know in the hobby beyond the Topps Project 2020 lineup of artists re-creating memorable cards from the past.

How? Well, he's actually worked with the company for several years now with Topps Fire being a brand that has been a home for a ton of his creations. However, this time around some perhaps previously un-imaginable demand for Project 2020 cards has led him to sell his own -- autographed copies that he bought from Topps and then signed. And that's something he's turning that into capital to pursue even more leads in his creative career.

"225 autographed cards sold so far today. You're really changing this guy's life for the better," Beck tweeted on Sunday. "I cannot thank you enough! Best believe I am re-investing these funds into a license to get NBA products rolling. Stay tuned."

Before that, though, Beck took some time to field a few basic questions about the release that has many a collector talking and has sold roughly a million cards since March 25 -- and half of that has come in just recent days.

You may not see a lot of NHRA cardboard in packs these days, but there are plenty of fans out there who love the spectacle that is high-speed and high-intensity -- without any left turns.

One of its drivers -- a two-time season champ who has the fifth-best career-win total in NHRA Funny Car history -- is Cruz Pedregon, a driver and team owner who has also had two brothers involved in racing and all have had their share of card and diecast appearances in the past.

Buzz recently caught up with Pedregon for a quick Q&A about stuff for collectors, his take on all of that stuff as a driver and owner, what it's like to be behind the wheel at more than 300 miles per hour and what he collects (Spoiler: it's something NFL.) among few other things.

Keep reading for the Q&A and how you can get your hands on a set of four autographed cards straight from the champ himself that you see here.
