International free agents are always intensely watched as the players from outside of the United States can sign at younger ages to get a quicker start on their MLB dreams.

In 2016 Bowman (click here to see our First Buzz), they'll get their own insert set as well as an autographed version -- both sets will be dubbed International Ink.

When you think of Sylvester Stallone's career, one character probably comes to mind first.

Rocky Balboa.

Sweet dreams are made of these if you're a fan of the Antichrist Superstar.

It's a certified autograph of Marilyn Manson -- a first -- and it's coming in Cryptozoic's Sons of Anarchy Seasons 6-7 set scheduled to arrive on Dec. 23.

Manson played Ron Tully for six episodes during the final season, adding to his credits that include more than 20 roles in television and movies atop countless musical appearances as a performer or soundtrack inclusion.

They're two distinctly different styles of art probably catering to different types of sports fans, but you should have no doubts about one thing -- the works of S. Preston are the work of a sports fan. 

"I won piano competitions, art competitions and mathematics competitions, but that didn't matter because all I wanted to do was be in sports," he writes on his website. "But as we all know too well, the dream of being a professional athlete is not for everyone, including me."

Working with a broadcasting team led to a lot of time in stadiums and one day an old doodle led to an idea of drawing stadiums in the simplest ways possible -- but noting the details sports fans can Identify with. "Minimalist Ballparks" was born. On the other end of the spectrum are his hand-penciled "Baseball Princesses" sketches of iconic characters little girls love with a simple twist and the simple idea that "girls can be baseball fans, too."

Gary Barnidge is in the midst of a career year with the Cleveland Browns -- and he might be the team's only weapon on offense considering the craziness that is the quarterback spot for that 2-10 disaster.

The tight end is eight years into his NFL career -- he was a fifth-round pick out of Louisville in 2008 -- and has 60 catches for 817 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Before this year? Just 44 receptions for 603.

He signed a new contract with the team today, but there are two things he can't buy with that new cash.

Hollywood's awards season is here with the nominees for the SAG and Golden Globes arriving this week and the inevitable chatter about who might get an Oscar nomination on Jan. 15 heating up online.

Good luck finding yourself Oscar cardboard, though, as cards showing Hollywood's biggest honor aren't all that common at all. In fact, they're downright scarce even though countless Oscar winners themselves have appeared on cards. (At right is a 2005 Topps Chronicles card Buzz bets most of you have never seen.)

Because of that, we're going with a different piece of awards cardboard above -- you all remember that one and its 2011 Topps American Pie card, right? -- as Buzz presents his picks for the top Oscars collectors need to know.

Dolph Schayes, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame and one of the NBA's dominating scorers in its early years, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 87.

In 15 seasons mostly with the Syracuse Nationals, Schayes averaged 18.5 points and 12.1 rebounds a game after he was picked with the fourth pick of the 1948 BAA Draft. (The Basketball Association of America merged with the National Basketball League to form the NBA in 1949.)

As a 16-year-old freshman, Schayes led New York University to a Final Four appearance in 1945 and had an NBA championship by 1955. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973 and named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996.

Panini America took a few minutes to examine and snap the images of a game-used Tyrod Taylor gamer that arrived in its door on Thursday because it's going to make a little history after it goes through some de-construction.

Despite its 2014 tagging, the jersey is from Sunday's 30-21 win over the Houston Texans - a game where the Buffalo Bills quarterback threw three touchdowns and rushed for one more.

Why is this a big deal? He's never had a memorabilia card despite playing time in each of the last five seasons.

Topps' UFC trading cards have helped usher MMA more into collectors' minds as those who focused on the traditional sports saw the dollar signs attached to the autographs and Relics of notable names inside the Octagon.

But a visit to the UFC Store might do that even better as UFC sells fight-used memorabilia directly to the public on a first-come, first-served format.

The fight-used gloves above, for example? They were worn by Miesha Tate during the UFC on FOX Dillashaw vs. Barao 2 card where she downed Jessica Eye via unanimous decision. They'll cost you $2,999.99 to add them to your stash.

Gloves, shorts, fight-sponsor banners, walkout shirts, walkout caps and other gear are all available.

The Blowout Cards Forums are where thousands of collectors converge daily to discuss, well, a little bit of everything. Here are five threads about collecting and more that you should check out right now.

What's Buzzing: As you probably know, today is 2015 Bowman Draft release day -- so there's a bit to be seen about that one along with collation woes and new faces in new places.

The story of Jarryd Hayne is a unique one that reached a peak back in September when he made the roster of the San Francisco 49ers.

Why? His previous sports experience was as a player in Australia's National Rugby League.

But now there's another peak for the running back -- he has NFL cards that have recently arrived and his newest ones are to be found in 2015 Panini Crown Royale, which hits stores next week. Those that are available have been peaking pretty well as his career waits to see what's next.

Topps Authentics previously launched with American League Rookie of the Year Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros as its core player. The autographed items for both players are initially sold only via Topps.com.

The No. 1 overall pick in this year's MLB Draft appears to be traded to the Atlanta Braves as part of a package for Shelby Miller agreed to on Tuesday night.

So now Dansby Swanson's first Bowman Chrome autographs, which officially arrive tomorrow in 2015 Bowman Draft, show him with his old team, immediately perhaps making them less appealing to collectors on both sides of the trade.

Sure, Swanson is from Georgia -- that's a plus -- but Buzz has to wonder what collectors think of the move. Or, does Topps consider issuing a second version of a Swanson 2015 Bowman auto with a Photoshopped Braves uni -- remember, the Diamondbacks version is just that -- somewhere in 2016 packs?

With Bowman Draft officially arriving tomorrow, eBay will undoubtedly be buzzing with the newest can't-miss future stars' first MLB cards.

But Bowman's not just a big deal for high-grade Chromes and Superfractors. Vintage Bowman in top grade -- like this 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle -- can generate some looks, too.

This card, in its grade, is a 1/1 specimen. It's a card that can give any Superfractor a run for its graded money without any of those golden swirls or a dollop of autograph ink.

Grumpy Cat is one of those things that, well, you either get or you don't.

How else do you explain a cat with a few hundred-thousand Twitter followers, 8.2 million Facebook fans, countless YouTube hits and even more memes?

Don't answer that -- just consider that Grumpy Cat isn't just an Interwebs force. Grumpy Cat sells comic books, too.

Nobody really expected un-drafted Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Charcandrick West to do a whole lot in the NFL this season.

Why? Well, a four-time Pro Bowl selection Jamaal Charles was ahead of him on the depth chart -- he of five 1,000-yard seasons in the last six years.

But then Oct. 11 happened.

A pair of auctions this week from Profiles in History will help get some iconic pieces of original art into collectors' hands from some of the most-memorable works in pop culture history.

Up first on Thursday (Dec. 10) is the Calabasas, Calif.-based company's "Animation & Disneyana" sale, which will include 880 lots of artwork and Disney memorabilia ranging from retired ride vehicles to animation cels from classic films.

The top two pieces in the sale are original animation cels from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (above) and Lady and the Tramp (below). These pieces carry opening bids of $35,000 and $40,000 respectively and are estimated to command around $50,000 apiece when the final gavel falls. Several other pieces from memorable works, including Fantasia, are among the sale's items as well as a pair of Charles Shulz Peanuts strips.

You can browse the catalog for the auction right here.

And on the other end of the artistic spectrum ...
