It's a coming-of-age tale -- a hit series with a cosmic twist that's been hailed as an inclusive gem with Peabody Awards, Emmy nods and plenty of other honors you wouldn't necessarily expect from a Cartoon Network series.

But when it comes to the cardboard for Steven Universe, it's the autographs that are offering up the fun and some strong sales for those who have ripped into packs of the recent release from Cryptozoic.

A quick look at completed eBay sales for cards from the series show more than a 30 sales of autographs at $50 or more and half of those topped $100. (Asking prices range as high as $360 for some signers we'll look at later here.) One of these Matthew Moy autos, for example -- went for $100 helped by one of the unique inscriptions he added to several of his cards. It also doesn't hurt that he's been part of other hits like Two Broke Girls. (Hello again, Han.)

He's not alone -- and not even the priciest of the bunch.

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.

A SUPER SELLER SO FAR
The Item: 2018 Cryptozoic Supergirl Season 1 Melissa Benoist autograph (Supergirl version)
The Price: $480 after 11 bids with five-plus days remaining
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This latest arrival and the first for The CW series has a number of autographs to watch but none are bigger than those signed by Supergirl herself -- and Melissa Benoist actually has at least three different cards for collectors to look for. So far, three of her autos have sold for $999.50 or more on eBay and her rare dual-wardrobe cards found in this one -- what looks like one blue suit swatch and one red cape swatch -- also has pushed $800. This one is a live auction so it should be interesting to see how this one ends. The other big sales have been Buy-It-Now or Best Offer sales -- and the asking prices are higher than $1,000 for the active auctions right now

HOTTEST INK IN THE HOBBY?
The Item: 2018 Cryptozoic Rick And Morty Season 1 Autograph #JR-R Justin Roiland as Rick Sanchez (/50)
The Price: $947.64 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Just like the cartoon series, you can't really explain it -- you just have to see it. A number of the autographs in this recently released product are scorchers and they're not even the main thrust of the set -- you'll find one and sometimes two full-color sketch cards per box (and sometimes an auto atop that). Roiland is the co-creator of this cult classic series and he signed a few different cards for characters in this release -- and that hasn't brought down prices for those that have sold or are on the block. Even the binders for this one are selling very well.
