The lead in Rogue One is signing for Topps' newest Star Wars set but -- spoiler alert -- she's only available as a redemption.
Oscar nominee Felicity Jones has autographs in 2016 Topps Star Wars Rogue One Series 1, which officially arrives today along with the final checklist that she appears on.
It's a card that's already in demand -- and the asking prices for those already on eBay are out of this galaxy.

Free Comic Book Day is still a few months away but it's never to soon to see what the SWAG will include.
A dozen free issues made for the hobby-shop holiday were revealed by its organizers on Monday with titles from Marvel and DC a bit more secretive than others, which include books from Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, Archie Comics, Bongo Comics, BOOM! Studios, ONI Press, Titan Comics, Valiant Entertainment and Viz Media.
It's all your fault, Nintendo ... but at least I've still got baseball cards

It's all your fault, Nintendo.
The hottest (though seemingly non-existent) toy of the holiday season has been without question the NES Classic, a miniature modern-day version of the old Nintendo Entertainment System pre-loaded with 30 different games from the heyday of the 8-bit platform.
Buzz knew this would be big the day it was revealed months ago and I've checked chain stores multiple times a week in the time since its arrival last month seeking that Shangri-La Shelf where the Classic sat at its posted price of $59.99 -- not the massive amounts more allegedly being paid on eBay. (Sure, some of those "sales" aren't legit -- many of them in fact -- but some of the lesser high-priced sales wouldn't shock me since I'm sure the NES Classic has caused angst for other people out there.)
There was a side effect after all this aisle-walking and checking out video games like I hadn't done in years, if ever. It made me do something I never would have predicted months ago.

Sometimes memorable characters inspire new ones -- or new ones arrive that remind us of others but with a twist.
A series of art prints from Wisconsin-based artist Alex Solis gives us a reminder of just that.
They are "Icons Unmasked."

Sometimes you just get sidetracked by an email.
That was the case Friday morning when the latest images from Sideshow Toys spotlighting its newest (and some past) Premium Format figures arrived in Buzz's inbox.
They're premium in size -- in the case of Deadpool here 24 inches tall and 14 pounds -- and premium in price. But, most importantly, they're premium in appeal as they are ridiculously detailed in their varying forms.

Update: The book above sold for $358,500, which is a new record.
--
The newest Heritage Auctions comic book sale going on now includes some downright super books in CGC slabs.
How super? Six-figure super for three books with plenty of time remaining before they close.
The leader so far is one of three CGC 4.5 copies of Superman No. 1 in existence. There are just three copies of the 1939 book that have graded a CGC 6 and only two CGC 8s exist. Earlier this year, a CGC 4.0 sold for $299,000. Those are the kind of numbers that matter for such an iconic issue for an iconic star -- and Heritage hasn't sold a CGC 5 or higher since 2007.
The number that matters most here? You know ... the price?
