Buzz buys a lot of stuff these days and for a few reasons, really. Sometimes it's just bargain-hunting, sometimes it's just something that strikes me. And other times it's a lot -- a group of things -- and that has happened enough lately I figured I'd try something different as a regularly appearing item. Sometimes my lots will be wins, sometimes they won't be ... but I'll let you decide.

Minor league baseball cards from the past can include some weird stuff ... sometimes stuff you wouldn't imagine to be found on a baseball card. Here are some some new fun cards and oddities in this latest edition of MiLB Madness. 

WELL BEFORE PHILLY
The Card: Kyle Schwarber 2015 Topps Heritage Minor League
The Buzz On This: This MiLB card isn't one that came from a team set since Heritage is an in-pack brand of the past (it was killed off in recent years) and it was one that revisited old MLB designs with today's printing and today's stars. This is a re-do of the 1966 Topps set showing Schwarber after his first season as a minor-leaguer. Schwarber has got plenty of prospect cards showing him in a Cubs uniform and his college colors as well -- those arrived the year before this one and his USA Baseball stuff actually arrived two years before this. In short, he's got a lot of cardboard -- and that's a good thing for collectors who like his slugging ways (I do). He doesn't have as much cardboard in actual MiLB uniforms, so that's why I picked this off on the night of his All-Star Game heroics. This was my first target but you'll see more of him on his few minor-league cards here in the future.

ANOTHER BIG JORDAN
The Item: Michael Jordan Oct. 26, 1984 (NBA Debut) Chicago Bulls season-ticket stub (PSA 4)
The Price: $65,000 after 25 bids (ends Sept. 27)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Last month, a Michael Jordan (and Kobe Bryant) card sale via auction re-wrote some hobby history and, while we're confident this one won't fetch $12.9 million, this one is in some rare air. It has already hit its estimated price from the auction house and while its grade is low there are only three higher. "The most important athletic debut of the post-war era?" asked Heritage in its listing. "A strong argument could be made. Perhaps only Wayne Gretzky could challenge Michael Jordan in balloting seeking to identify the most dominant figure of his respective major sport, but once you step outside the sports arena and into the wider popular culture, M.J. leaves The Great One in his dust. He remains one of the most recognizable humans on the planet two decades after his retirement from the NBA." Jordan scored a modest 16 points in a 109-93 win over the Washington Bullets on this night and only 14 of these have been grade overall.

It was the moment seen around the world.

The Saga Of Phillies Karen & The Home Run Ball was just one week ago tonight down in Miami and if you don't know the tale here's a quick recap. A Harrison Bader home run went into the stands and put a run on the board for the Philadelphia Phillies as part of a rout of the Marlins. It bounced around on the concrete and ended up in the hands of fan Drew Feltwell, who ran down the row of seats below her to retrieve it and then ran back to his seat, proudly popping the ball into the glove of his 10-year-old son, Lincoln ... until there was a showdown.

"She definitely scurried on over," Feltwell told NBC10 Philadelphia. "And as she reached for my arm, she just yelled in my ear, 'That's my ball.' Like super loud. I jumped out of my skin."

"A lot, a lot of eyes on us by that time. And the ball was already in his glove and she just wouldn't stop. And I mean, I'm literally leaning back as she's in my face, yelling and yelling and yelling. And I pretty much just wanted her to go away. And because I had a fork in the road, either do something I was probably going to regret or be a dad and show him how to de-escalate the situation. So that's where I went."

The family ended up with gifts from both teams after the in-game negative attention -- after all, it was all caught on live TV and filmed from in the stands -- and they met Bader after the game where the kid ended up with one of his signed Victus Sports game-model bats and a moment better than just a baseball leading up to his birthday, which is why they were at the game. They ended up on Good Morning America talking about it all while her identity remains a mystery despite all kinds of angsty and, well, uncouth Internet reactions that are as abrasive as that moment. (Feltwell has asked the public to stop all that. We concur.)

Since then, our "firm and official" offer of $5,000 for the ball  -- as long as it's signed and inscribed "I'm sorry" -- that we dropped a day later has been around the world, too.

It's been covered by -- take a breath -- The New York Times, The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo, Yahoo Sports, The Sporting News, cllct, The Philadelphia Inquirer, MSN, National Post, Fox News, FOX 29 Philadelphia, Cleveland.com, Hindustan Times, NJ.com, Times of India, The Independent (UK), Daily Mail (UK), New York Post, 104.5 WOKV, The Economic Times, Patch, Toronto Sun, The Tab, The Mirror U.S., Daily Express U.S., FanBuzz, BroBible, Whiskey Riff, TotallyProSports, EssentiallySports, Bounding Into Sports, VT, Breitbart, Bored Panda, Sportsnaut, Hypefresh Magazine, Bounding Into Sports, BVM Sports, inkl, NewsBreak, Finurah, EssentiallySports, Dexerto and we're sure even more than that based on the social media push-around we've seen. Some of it's been good, some of it's been bad, some of it's been confusing, some of them have been proud to see it.

We know he should have the ball.

And, now ... why are we here once again?
