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.

ALL ABOUT THE PHOTOS
The Item: Zion Williamson 2019-20 Panini Chronicles Luminance Rookie Card
The Price: $114.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Searches for Chronicles really overload me -- there's just too much to choose from and then there are parallels atop all of them (so there are likely better bargains than this particular card and its price) -- but this set jumped out from the rest from this new and red-hot release. Luminance is all about the photos with a simple 1996-97 Fleer Ultra-ish feel (but no tail on the letters) and it might be the best of the best in this catch-all release. This card, the Ja Morant (even better) and the Luka Doncic card are all solid pieces and I'm sure there are others. Over time, the basic cards like this one will stand out from the rest because of the images even if they are easier finds than other rarer but uglier cards. It also doesn't hurt that Williamson is in his red uni here ... so many (too many) were in the drab blue uniforms we've seen all season long from the rookie photo shoot. Luminance is just 30 cards in Chronicles but each has nine parallel sets and some are very rare ... so it will be a bit of a challenge to collect 'em all. I would if I was patient enough.

The show will wait until next year.

This year's National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City, N.J., is canceled.

It had been postponed to December due to the COVID-19 pandemic but finally was officially called off by show organizers on Thursday morning. They cited "concern for the safety of attendees and exhibitors and the uncertainty over COVID-19 federal and state guidelines as the major reasons for the cancellation" and noted that the 2021 show in Chicago is set for July 28-Aug. 1 is under way.

It was nowhere near the strike zone, but it sparked a Topps Now baseball card sales record and spawned a bobblehead doll.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's first pitch of the season was jussssst a bit outside and will get a new premium bobble from FOCO that's set to arrive in mid-November.

"They say doctors make the worst patients, but we say they make the best bobbleheads," reads the company's description for the piece. "Adding this Dr. Anthony Fauci Washington Nationals first pitch bobblehead to your collection is just what the doctor ordered."

Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals is to rip a little less and talk more about cardboard that I -- and you -- might like. One way to do that? Simple show and tell -- present a few pick-ups and say why they captured my attention.

So, with all that said, here are a few Buzz Buys ... and this time around there's some new stuff and some throwbacks as I await some new arrivals.

IN THE HOUSE (BUT NOT IN THE STRIKE ZONE)
The Card: Dr. Anthony Fauci 2020 Topps Now (/51,512)
The Price: $6 (direct from Topps)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card was a fun surprise after his awful first pitch to start the season on Opening Day last month and it set an all-time record for Topps Now with more than 51,000 copies sold. That's more than double the previous record for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s MLB debut last year. Why? The novelty of it and the market has been strong for this card as many non-collectors apparently want one. That price has made me glad I did a handful. I may or may not slab one as I had planned as these didn't come in as razor-sharp/perfectly clean as other Topps Now cards I've done. (And also because grading prices are getting steeper.) The real question for people out there ... did anybody get a parallel? Those are new for Now this year.
Grab a box right here: None for this ... get 2020 MLB boxes here.
