The future of Minor League Baseball is a cloudy one with this season in doubt or if not done before it ever starts, hundreds of players cut in recent weeks to pare everything down and the constant worry of the number of teams shrinking as MLB struggles with what to do amidst everything that has come with the COVID-19 pandemic.

But the creativity of MiLB and in particular its fun promotional nights can't be topped -- and both of those things got me looking for something different for my collection and for this regularly appearing department here on The Buzz. This piece presented itself with a nod to pop culture for a price that, well, can't easily be beat at the big-league level for game-used material ... so, it had to be had.

Yet both had very high demand.

Both items you see here -- one a PSA 8 copy of his 1952 Topps card and the other being Mantle's New York Yankees road jersey worn when he hit his 535th career home run on Sept. 19, 1968 -- are six-figure items.

One went for $660,000 with a buyer's premium while the other went for $486,000 and with that pair of facts we have these two questions for you.
