If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices now over on the mothership as BlowoutCards.com's Black November Wave 10 hits today.

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 that caught this collector’s eye.

2013 Panini Beach Boys hobby box
This box is admittedly probably off the radar of many collectors but that doesn't mean that it can't deliver. In fact, these can deliver well if you pull the right ink. This Brian Wilson card here? It sold for more than you might think and he's not alone when it comes to autos in there that have topped the $100 mark. Like the Panini Country release, there are non-traditional collectors chasing cards here to build sets or chase stuff they like with no regard for what something "should" cost based on what it is or its scarcity. Meanwhile, they may not know where to buy boxes -- or not want to. Those things can lead to some surprising results -- and that's not the only surprise. Check out the price on this box.
