March mania arrives early with March Gladness -- check out these sale boxes that might come with even more extras

Can't wait until March to get a bracket going? Well, we've got a way for you to get into the game.

It's the Blowout March Gladness Jackpot and it's a bonus for those who pick off sale items -- an overall bracket winner gets a mega box of the red-hot 2018-19 Donruss Optic (home of Luka Doncic Rookie Cards) but all teams that make the Final Four get a spot in a championship game bonus grid where they'll get a share of an overall big-dollar jackpot that pays out Blowout gift cards for a number of possibilities.

There will be a number of brackets filled in this one -- and they are filling already -- and every team in the field in every bracket is tied to a sale box.

Keep reading for five items -- not just basketball and with a variety of price points -- that got Buzz's attention in this one. And every one you buy gets you a team on a bracket.

2019-20 Panini Instant Zion Williamson First Look RC #FL-ZW
It's not all packs in this one and the biggest name in the NBA this year can be yours along with a team. We've picked up a  number of these cards and they are all up for grabs here in case you want in but don't want to take a chance with what might (or might not) be found inside a box. This was his first card showing him in his NBA uniform, too.

2017 Topps WWE Women's Division Blaster Box
Don't let the word "blaster" scare you off here -- this is the only format that matters for this one and there were not hobby boxes made for this popular brand that showcases the female stars of the WWE. (Spoiler to nobody but Vince McMahon: Their autographs often sell better than the guys and that matters here.) Check out these listings for cards that aren't rare pulls -- they can pay for more than a few boxes. I've busted a ton of these and they are always worth a look when they are available.

2010 Topps UFC Main Event retail 100-pack lot
I hate to sound like a broken record here, but super-cheap bulk lots can pay off very well at times and this one is solid for the price (roughly a quarter a pack as I write this). I pulled a Royce Gracie auto here and a ton of inserts and base cards the last time I ripped into one and a Twitter follower of mine reported six hits -- yes, six -- with a mix of ink and Relics from a lot like this, too, just yesterday. Not all cheap rips -- or even high-end ones -- offer up a ton of safety in their volume but this one does. I consider stuff like this every time I fill a cart. There are actually more than 50 "lot" options in the big sale.

2017 Panini Plates & Patches Football Hobby Box
The presence of Patrick Mahomes Rookie Cards here are a big plus that lead to its premium price, but there are a number of possibilities here that can also yield to strong boxes. You get a veteran/retired auto or a rookie patch auto in every box as well as one printing plate and one memorabilia card. Then you get a parallel and a base card and those can carry some solid names, too. These are small boxes with big potential and this is one I, myself, have ripped in the past. (My box hasn't aged well but, then again, Mahomes wasn't a big deal back then.)

2014 Topps Heritage Baseball gravity feed retail box
If there was one box I could pick off right now, it would be this one -- Boss, set one to the side for me -- and that's because old Heritage boxes are getting tougher to find and this is one of the best sets of the last decade if you ask me ... if not the best one as it revisits 1965. There are variations and other things to be found in these 36-pack boxes -- yes, they are retail but hobby and retail odds are not astronomically different in the case of this brand and this has more volume than a hobby box. An added plus here is that the box is the kind of display piece that might be unique in the future, too. A lot of them got mangled and tossed out at retail. (That's not a big money thing, just something that could matter in a few decades.) Big fan of this one and we'll be hitting 1971 here later this month ... it will be popular, too.
