If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now right here as the new wave of Blowout Cards' Black November sales is here

Many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz once again had to ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five that caught this collector’s eye ... and there's far more that just might suit your tastes in the big sale.

STRIKE NOW ... BIGGEST INK IS REDEMPTION
2022 Topps Heritage High Number Hobby Box & Case
This release being in Black November sales will be one of those things we look back at years from now and wish we had loaded up on it a lot more ... and a part of that sentiment could come as soon as next year. In fact, Oct. 31, 2024, is when the redemptions for Julio Rodriguez's very-in-demand autos in this one expire. Now, you shouldn't expect his ink in every case -- that's a reason it's a $600 card for just the basic version -- but there are a few autos per case and a hit per box here for starters. Atop that, there are inserts and variations all flowing regularly that can have key names attached and easily pay for the box. Beyond that, the base set itself is small so you should land most of the set in every box (or come close) and that means you can stockpile key names here for slabbing or future deals ... or sell them off in lots as timing works for you. Among the rookies? Rodriguez, Spencer Strider, Bobby Witt Jr., Spencer Torkelson, Jeremy Peña and a ton of others. Among the auto Relics? Mike Trout, Matt Olson, Joey Votto. Among the standard autos? Bryce Harper, Witt, Carlton Fisk, Juan Marichal, Jim Palmer, Rodriguez, Juan Soto, Votto, Olson, Trout, Nolan Ryan, Ronald Acuña Jr., Steve Carlton and many others. The long-running power of the brand and the relative scarcity (difficulty to pull ink) can make some names big surprises here. There are a lot of formats to consider here but this one is, by far, the one with the biggest potential. Oh, and there are Hot Boxes, too.

Keep reading for a few more boxes you should consider (and are likely to end up in Buzz's cart).

RED-HOT RIGHT NOW 
The Item: Elly De La Cruz 2022 Bowman Heritage Chrome Red Refractor auto (/5)
The Price: $4,000 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The new arrival in MLB is just two games into his big-league career but his combination of speed and power -- and his worthiness to don Eric Davis' No. 44 (another speed and power guy there) in Cincinnati -- is getting the spotlight. He's already got a double, a triple and a homer along with three runs and two RBI while hitting .429 after two games. His Rookie Cards won't appear until 2024 releases -- he missed the deadline so his first Topps Now cards carry "call-up" labels -- but he's got plenty of cardboard. He's pushing 700 different card appearances in prospect releases with cards since 2021 and more than 200 of those are autographs, too. This one comes from the delayed Bowman Heritage but is arguably the right color for max appeal. I don't think that price will get met but it could ... he's a top talent that will be talked about until he comes back to reality. Well, if ... he hit .298 with 71 doubles, 22 triples, 49 homers, 190 RBI and 71 stolen bases in 263 MiLB games over four seasons. Baseball America had him ranked No. 8 in all of MiLB entering this season and he was also a top-10 guy via MLB and Baseball Prospectus rankings.
