"Huh, what was that?" The voices ...

To say that the baseball card landscape has changed in the last decade might be an understatement, but there's been one prospecting brand that has delivered many of the biggest names early and often and delivered a good amount of ink, too, thanks to Hot Boxes.

It's packed a number of surprise inclusions, a tremendous rainbow of serial-numbered parallel autos and even some pretty good bargains as many collectors have their established habits elsewhere. In recent years, it's also given us a teaser of younger USA Baseball players, too.

This mainstay -- and arguably a simultaneous sleeper -- is Elite Extra Edition.

Blaster boxes are the taste-testing location -- the sample platter you might say -- of many products for many people who may not have a hobby shop or want to try something new without spending too much.

After a few years, some of those boxes get dirt cheap as collectors' attentions are focused elsewhere and it's fun to dig in with those boxes become available at a fraction of their original cost.

One such product for this collector is 2011 Panini Americana, a non-sports release that's somewhat higher-end and hit-driven at hobby -- one hit per pack, just four packs per box -- while the blasters typically include a hit of some type and typically more base cards than a hobby box inside.

There are parts of the collecting world simply off the radar for many of us because we're priced out -- cards that are so pricey that we're talking new car territory at times.

One of those cards making eBay headlines of late is the 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Mike Trout autograph in all of its various rainbow incarnations.

The card above reportedly sold for $15,600 in March and it's not alone as a jaw-dropper. Graded non-Refractors have reportedly gone for as much as $4,999 just last week and raw copies have reportedly topped $3,000. These crazy auctions are not alone as there have been plenty of these cards sold.

The Superfractor was pulled long ago, too, but it can be yours for a price.
