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.

PREVIEWS ARRIVE
The Item: Jordan Love 2020 Donruss Optic Preview Holo parallel RC
The Price: $67.66 after eight bids (six days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This year's Donruss release includes some high-end stuff like some impressive patch autos for NFL rookies -- stuff with four-figure asking prices on eBay -- but there are also a number of Optic Preview cards with parallels for key rookies that look to be commanding good money, too. This one is a new listing with a week to go and it's not alone having good demand so far. How they will hold up over time might depend on how many get pulled and posted -- and how long it takes for regular Optic to arrive. They'll definitely be tougher than the regular ones, too. If you're chasing key names, this might be one to look for first before they dry up.

HALL OF FAME LUMBER
The Item: Carl Yastrzemski 2020 Topps Sterling Bat Knob Auto Relic (1/1)
The Price: $1,273 after 39 bids (six days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This year's return of Sterling includes a number of super-premium cards and I'd consider this to be one with a game-used bat knob from the other Yaz -- you know, the one in the Hall of Fame -- showcased here. While Mike Yastrzemski might be grabbing the attention of some fans, this guy is one who you don't see a boatload of cardboard for, let alone game-used stuff, in release after release. His lumber was marked with his uniform number here, eight, and a couple other markings and that's some of the magic with bat knob cards. (Check out the Darryl Strawberry card at the link below to see some of the other possibilities -- manufacturer and factory markings.) This one will be interesting to watch by the time it ends.
