Have you seen the latest cool cards from a new release? With so many options for collectors of all kinds arriving every week it's possible you haven't. That's where Buzz comes in -- well at least on one brand you'll see here from time to time in what we're calling Buzz's Pick Six. Simply put, here are six cards from a new arrival that seemed interesting to this collector and we think they might interest you, too.

This week's release: 2019 Donruss Elite NFL football cards

--

DON'T CALL HIM A SLEEPER, BUT ... 
The Card: Josh Jacobs 2019 Donruss Elite NFL Pen Pals (or any ink)
The Price: $118.51 for this one (/25) 
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy shouldn't be seen as a sleeper but he might be compared to some of the first-rounders' autos out there -- and he's my pick for a player with potential this season. Why? A few reasons. First, the OakVegas Raiders were a trainwreck last year so somebody has to matter when it comes to cardboard this year -- and it can't be the coach. There are star players there but they've had injuries, baggage and there's no guarantee they won't be traded off somewhere for a box of rocks (OK, OK, draft picks) at any time. A look at Jacobs' college stats probably won't tell the story, either, as he ultimately only had a breakout year last season despite playing three for Nick Saban at Alabama. He had 120 carries for 640 yard last season but scored 11 TDs. He also added 20 catches for 247 and three TDs. His other two seasons top those for yardage but not much else. He was the first RB taken in this year's NFL Draft at 24th overall so there could be one reason for attention for his cards. One more that's still to come? The Raiders are the team for this year's Hard Knocks series in HBO that kicks off on Aug. 6. That has helped guys' cards in the past -- well at least ones who don't have a ton of card appearances. (He's not that guy this time -- already over 400 different.) His cards are worth a look when they're on the cheap side.

Have you seen the latest cool cards from a new release? With so many options for collectors of all kinds arriving every week it's possible you haven't. That's where Buzz comes in -- well at least on one brand you'll see here from time to time in what we're calling Buzz's Pick Six. Simply put, here are six cards from a new arrival that seemed interesting to this collector and we think they might interest you, too.

This week's releases: 2019 Panini Contenders Draft Picks and 2019 Panini Prizm Draft Picks -- a combo since I truly couldn't decide which way to go during this NFL Draft weekend.

--

THE TOP GUY ... 
The Card: Kyler Murray 2019 Panini Prizm Contenders Optic Mojo College Ticket autograph (/15)
The Price: $1,250 opening bid (six days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card is perhaps a tad confusing ... it's a Contenders Optic card from Prizm and there's one in Prizm packs, too, but that one is not serial-numbered to 15 according to the checklists. Either way, this is a big pull and it's got on-card ink of the guy who went first in the 2019 NFL Draft last night and also the Heisman winner who is the only player ever taken in the first round of both the MLB and NFL drafts in the same year. There's a lot of attention and storyline here -- especially with the added Josh Rosen drama -- but he might be the biggest name of the bunch drafted so far when it comes to cardboard. (At least until everybody suits up.) This is an actual auction instead of a Buy-It-Now with new-car pricing attached, so we'll see how much demand there is here in a few days.
