Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here every week as we're launching a weekly version of our eBay Buzz pieces that pop up from time to time. We’ll spotlight some items that have a story or just wow us with how much interest it might have — and we’re not just talking baseball cards, either.

A SUPER SELLER SO FAR
The Item: 2018 Cryptozoic Supergirl Season 1 Melissa Benoist autograph (Supergirl version)
The Price: $480 after 11 bids with five-plus days remaining
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This latest arrival and the first for The CW series has a number of autographs to watch but none are bigger than those signed by Supergirl herself -- and Melissa Benoist actually has at least three different cards for collectors to look for. So far, three of her autos have sold for $999.50 or more on eBay and her rare dual-wardrobe cards found in this one -- what looks like one blue suit swatch and one red cape swatch -- also has pushed $800. This one is a live auction so it should be interesting to see how this one ends. The other big sales have been Buy-It-Now or Best Offer sales -- and the asking prices are higher than $1,000 for the active auctions right now

Today in 1979, the sports world was changed forever.

That was the day that ESPN launched with an airing of SportsCenter, which has become a staple in its array of networks and multimedia platforms that give us everything we need (and more) about what's going in in the world of sports.

There are plenty of cardboard tie-ins as ESPN has had its own branded card sets in the past and its past and present personalities and reporters have appeared on certified autographs and memorabilia cards. But one simple card came to mind first with a mention of this arrival.

Buzz doesn't hit The History Channel that often -- unless there's maybe an American Pickers marathon on -- but there was a little bit of oldschool Americana there for three hours late Sunday night.

A show called Evel Live brought a little bit of daredevil insanity that felt right out of the 1970s as motorsports star Travis Pastrana successfully replicated three of Evel Knievel's biggest stunts all on live TV -- without any of the broken bones that the late star suffered in his Caesar's Palace jump that ended in jarring fashion that's been seen countless times in painful slow-motion.

Pastrana used an Indian Scout motorcycle -- a 340-pound beast much heavier and stiffer than his motocross equipment where he's done some insane stunts -- to jump 143 feet over 52 crushed cars, 192 feet over 16 buses and 149 feet to clear the fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Before that last one, he wound his way through the crowded strip posing for selfies and high-fiving fans stuck in traffic in a way that would make Johnny Blaze proud.

You might not expect either of them to have a lot of cardboard -- and they don't -- but you can find certified autographs of each with some hunting.
