Have you seen the latest crazy 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.

ONE SWEET BAMBINO
The Item: 2001 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Signatures Babe Ruth 1/1
The Price: $95,000 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: You can definitely find a signed Ruth baseball for less but this is the only card from this release where a ball signed back in the day was unstitched and placed into a card. You can mark down standard Sweet Spot autos as some of the simplest yet creative cards from the last 20 years and this card is still among the sweeter ones ever made, if not the sweetest of them all.

SURPRISING INTERNATIONAL DEMAND?
The Item: 2001 Upper Deck SP Top Prospects Chirography Autographs Chin-Feng Chen
The Price: $205 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This name surprised me when I did some research for tomorrow's Making The Grade, but I learned a few things about this one and that's why it's here. This card? It's his only certified autograph (this one and a Gold parallel /25) and the completed eBay auctions show people are buying. He was the first player born in Taiwan to make it to MLB and he played just 19 games over four seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers (2002-2005). After that, he continued playing internationally before retiring in 2016. This card being basically his only option for buyers has definitely helped drive up that demand -- still a surprise to see.

NOTHING BUT NET
The Item: Game-used net from the 2016 NBA Finals (Game 4)
The Price: $7,995 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The Cavs and Warriors will tip off in yet another Finals tonight and this is a pretty elite piece that is fully documented and authenticated by the NBA (though its number doesn't pop up in the database for some reason). The auction shows more images about the piece, which was purchased at auction via the NBA and MEIGray. What would you do with a Finals net? I'm not sure ... but it's certainly unique. (It would be cool to see more net cards in high-end card brands.)

LONG BEFORE THE UFC & WWE ...
The Item: Ronda Rousey 2002 Santa Monica High School ninth-grade yearbook 
The Price: $696 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: It's got some condition issues, but that may not matter to a diehard fan of one of the world's most-popular female fighters. You'll find her on one of the pages inside tucked right between Lauren Rothschild and Jennifer Rubin in this 2002 Santa Monica High School yearbook when she was in ninth grade. Not much is said about this one in the auction listing but it's definitely her among those mugshots.

ONE OF A FEW OLBERMANNS
The Item: 2003 Bowman Heritage Keith Olbermann autograph (BGS 9.5/10)
The Price: $200 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Now that he's back in the fold at ESPN, noted card collector Keith Olbermann could be of more interest to collectors wanting some of his cardboard. He has roughly 20 different card appearances through the years and 10 of those are certified autographs. This one was the first, followed by 2009 Topps American Heritage ink, 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter ink and 2014 Topps Heritage ink. He also has unsigned card appearances in some of these releases that are also rarer finds in some instances.
