Have you seen the latest cool cards from a popular 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: 2018-19 Panini Prizm NBA

--

THE KING OF BLASTERS
The Card: Luka Doncic Green Pulsar parallel (/25) BGS 10
The Price: $15,999 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: There's no doubt that it's this rookie who is the cream of the crop right now when it comes to Prizm Rookie Cards, but this one is here for you to consider one simple fact about tis pricey piece of cardboard. It came from a blaster. Now, if it could sell for that price, it's even more impressive ... but it's still a solid card. Only 24 others exist and only five others have been slabbed. This is the only 10 -- and there are only 21 other 10s for any Doncic Prizm card to get that grade. Fun fact: His Silvers have been slabbed 421 times and 216 of those have gotten a BGS 9.5. Just two got 10s. Meanwhile, his base RC has only been slabbed 301 times and there are six 10s ... more 10s than any other card.
