The luck of the draw still comes into play with the new Wild Card release -- but every box has a sure shot at rare stuff.

In fact, every pack of the newly released 2022 Wild Card Five Card Draw football cards has a rarer autograph inside and every box includes a pack with a 1/1 auto in it, giving you a surer shot at rarities for guys who are already competing on the biggest stage.

Thanks to an early batch of promo boxes sold to collectors in advance of this new arrival (live today at link above), there are also some strong sales of cards to see already. The leader in the eBay Completed Sales Clubhouse -- so far -- is the Breece Hall 1/1 auto above that sold for $415 after 37 bids. It's not alone, either, with a dozen early sales over $100 and another 16 over $50 ... from boxes that include five hits and are opening with modest prices.

College football stars who make it to a long-standing All-Star event will have a new place to find themselves on cardboard.

Panini America and the Senior Bowl revealed a new licensing deal on Thursday that will mean trading cards at the annual event held in Mobile, Ala., and also cards into packed-out football releases. The 72-year-old bowl game has showcased 52 eventual Pro Football Hall of Famers over the years with the next event is set for Jan. 30.

"In addition to making custom trading cards for each of the invited players, Panini and the Senior Bowl will also work at developing digital and social activations that celebrate the players throughout the week and as they make their way to the NFL Draft," read a prepared release. "Panini will also look to incorporate Senior Bowl elements and assets into its trading card products."

Maybe it's just the National Pizza Day buzz at work here -- or maybe some of those Papa John's commercials during NFL games -- but Buzz has to wonder what kind of demand there might be for a Peyton Manning & John Schnatter dual autograph card.

Maybe it's just a cheesy idea, but Buzz knows it wouldn't sell for pocket change if we found Manning and the world's most-famous pizza-selling football fan on a National Treasures card from Panini America. Buzz has imagined it above. Heck, maybe he'd be game for some kind of Ball State (where he went to school) or a Louisville college card, too? (The Cardinals play at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.)

It would be a fun, memorable and valuable football card if it became a reality -- one that might dwarf any other Manning autograph out there, too, simply because it's something unique. Maybe J.J. Watt, Joe Montana and other NFL players who have had pizza ties could get in on the action, too?

Are you hungry for a card like this? Tell us here or on Twitter.

It's pretty obvious who won and who lost after Super Bowl 50 on Sunday night without a glance at the scoreboard that read Broncos 24, Panthers 10.

The storybook finish happened for one, an emergence for another. And for the losing team we saw the best and the worst possibilities -- for guys who have plenty of good and now bad potential on cardboard. Here's a rundown ...

Von Miller -- Not long ago he was a guy coming off a suspension and an ACL tear, but on Sunday night the Broncos LB became one of a handful of defensive stars named the Super Bowl MVP. He recorded six tackles, two forced fumbles and two sacks for a loss of 27 yards. His strip of Cam Newton in the fourth quarter set up the final score of the game. Miller's Rookie Cards can be found in 2011 boxes and he's undoubtedly seen an uptick in interest simply because defensive stars are often overlooked. Will it last? Probably not, but he'll always have the MVP award in the record book. It will help, though, if he remains in Denver.
