This one is a quick idea for a new department here on The Buzz ... Fast Five -- a quick list under a simple topic that might offer a basic starting point for a themed collection. It's a basic list of five items that could be fun for a starting collector or a new way to add to a stash that might already seemingly include everything when it comes to cardboard. For some of you, it's probably common sense. For others of you out there, it's something to think about.

This time? Some collector-minded picks from 2020 Bowman.

A PERFECT CARD
Bo Bichette -- 2020 Bowman base set No. 52
For years as part of the current Topps run (1989 to today), Bowman was dubbed "The Home of The Rookie Card." That may be a tad overshadowed by the prospect sets these days and in this one  -- especially since the Rookie Card logo change in 2006 -- but this card is a perfect one and he's a key rookie in this year's crop. Forget all those new hot prospects (we'll get to them), but my first hunt here would be a bulk lot of this card as they could be overlooked compared to others but with a good collector upside and potential if in high-grade slabs. (Especially once the bulk-rippers are done and boxes dry up some.) Aesthetically, this could end up being one of his best RCs of the year.

Keep reading for four more making up the list this time.

It's been a few years since we last saw Bowman Sterling as a standalone product -- it had lived on as inserts in recent years -- but that trend ends on Wednesday with a new full-scale arrival.

And with a glance at the 2019 Bowman Sterling checklist it's apparent that the fans of rookies and prospects will have plenty to chew on in this autograph-per-pack release from Topps.

You get five packs per box in this one and it's also got a 100-card basic card assortment that is half prospects and half rookies with the bigs you would expect on the RC front -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Fernando Tatis Jr., Austin Riley, Pete Alonso, Keston Hiura, Eloy Jimenez and Nick Senzel are in there among others.

Prospects? Hold on ... Seth Beer, Yordan Alvarez, Bo Bichette, MacKenzie Gore, Alex Kirilloff, Joey Bart, Wander Franco, Nolan Gorman and Brendan McKay among others.

And that's just the standard stuff ... we're ripping this one for ink.
