If you hadn't noticed, our fifth wave of Black Friday boxes with discounted prices just dropped right now right here as BlowoutCards.com is bringing a wave approach to today's sales.

Here are five boxes/cases that caught this collector’s eye in this wave.

2017 Panini Crown Royale NFL retail premium box
This wave might be the strongest of them all if you ask me and this box's potential is one big reason why I say that. Back when I opened my only box of this one, I landed a Christian McCaffrey Platinum Rookie Card parallel -- a big deal this season -- but that's not the biggest rookie here ... you have a shot at Patrick Mahomes RCs and their parallels as well as ink and memorabilia cards. You get two hits per box here -- one auto, one mem -- and the strong rookie crop makes it a no-brainer at a price not dramatically higher than it was back when it arrived. It's not the flashiest design, but it's got some good potential.

If your desk needs a little something for football season, there's a new option arriving this month.

They are the Big Shot Ballers, a line of nearly 5-inch vinyl figures -- slightly pose-able with head, arm and waist movement -- that includes 10 NFL stars in this first wave from Westlake, Ohio-based Party Animal.

With that home base, it's not hard to see how Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield makes the cut ... but who else did?

Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals just might be to rip fewer blasters this year and talk more about cardboard that I -- and you -- might like. One way to do that? Simple show and tell -- present a few pick-ups and say why they captured my attention. Would they capture yours? I'd be interested to know -- sometimes they might, sometimes they won't and that's fine. It's a buyer's market out there with plenty of options and bargains as well as high-end gems to chase.

So, with all that said, here are a few Buzz Buys ... and this time around there's a mix of everything but mostly on the affordable side.

WAIT, WHAT?
The Card: Brock Lesnar 2004 Leaf Rookies & Stars NFL RC (SGC 9)
The Price: $20
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't argue with one interesting and unique fact about Brock Lesnar when it comes to cardboard -- he's got Rookie Cards in wrestling, MMA and pro football and that's something that's just not that common. I can think of a lot of two-sport players on cards between various combinations for MLB, NFL, NBA and WWE but, three? Sure, Lesnar never actually played in a real NFL game -- the Vikings cut him before the season started -- but it got him a few cards that do remain popular and a tad pricey these days due to their novelty and relative scarcity. He had 15 cards in three brands -- Rookies & Stars, Playoff Honors and Sweet Spot -- and some can sell for more than this. I grabbed it since I'd never found one and it was slabbed for not much more than a raw copy -- and also purely for the novelty. Some raw copies of this have higher asking prices than this over on eBay, too, while his cards for the other two sports are easy finds.

It's not a Rookie Card, it's not a super-rare parallel, it's not serial-numbered and it's not (obviously) a big-mojo hit.

It's a 2018 Panini Prizm Patrick Mahomes II (silver) Prizm parallel, and, most importantly, it was a $50 card on eBay on Sept. 7.

Why do I say it that way?
