This collector just had a bit of a somber mailday today as a package arrived from Newbury Comics with a couple of CDs inside.

They were copies of The Cranberries' album Something Else, a collection of their biggest hits from the past performed with an orchestra as well as three new songs released last year.

Each of them also came with something else, something extra, something more personal -- an autograph from Dolores O'Riordan, who died Monday at age 46.

A fun and so far inexpensive piece of pop culture history has hit the auction block via Heritage Auctions and it's a bit bananas.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

It's some artwork form Dan Fraga, an artist who also has worked in comic books and television, and they're the storyboards for the "Hollaback Girl" video from Gwen Stefani -- one of the hits from her debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. back in 2005.

Wouldn't it be nice to own autographs from members of an iconic American band?

That's a lot easier than you might think for The Beach Boys -- in fact it can be guaranteed -- thanks to BlowoutCards.com's newest Black November sale wave. It's a prelude of sorts for what's to come with Black Friday next week, but for fans of this band there's no beating this one.

It's the Pet Sounds of sales. It's fun, fun, fun ... and more.

As part of the sale, boxes and cases of Panini America's 2013 Beach Boys card set should give you some good vibrations after you do some simple math. You typically get two autographs per 20-box case with five possible signers -- Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston or David Marks. Each of them signed an equal total of 350 cards. The Wilson card you see here? It went for $270 on eBay -- and it's not alone as a strong seller.

Now, how much are those cases or boxes? (That's not a typo.) And the original prices on these boxes was originally $72, meaning those cases were originally $1,435 a pop.

Now pick up your jaw and keep reading to learn more about what's in this one.

If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now over on the mothership as BlowoutCards.com is in the midst its Black November sales now.

Wave 7 is here and many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz had to sit down and ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five boxes/cases that caught this collector’s eye.

2013-14 Panini Prestige NBA wax boxes and cases
This isn't a high-end brand but it's one that packs two autographs and two memorabilia cards in every box with roughly 20 insert cards, too. The key here? Giannis. His autographs are in here. His Rookie Cards are in here. He's such a big deal, he doesn't even need his long last name mentioned here. (Yes, I can spell it ... Antetokounmpo.) If you land his auto, it can pay for at least a third, if not half of the case. This is a brand where you can also land the likes of Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant ink (among others) and there's plenty of stuff in there -- especially if you go with a volume buy with the low sale price.
