Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals is to rip a little less 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.

So, with all that said, here are a few Buzz Buys.

--

GIVE 'EM A HAND ...
The Piece: Calvin Ridley 2018 Panini Instant Instant Impressions autographed hand print (/10)
The Price: $60 (shipped)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: I picked this one up earlier this year when Panini had a half-price sale on Panini Instant stuff and I think it was a gem of a find considering he's had some strong showings for the Falcons. (Beyond that he fits one of my collecting niches.) What is this? It's a huge card -- not a card, really but it does have a full back so it's a card that's a couple feet tall -- with his handprint and autograph worked into the mix. The signature is slightly more full than many of his cards (believe it or not) but the uniqueness of the whole package drew me in ... especially at half price.
Grab a box right here: No boxes of these ... but you can find NFL boxes here.

STRONG START, STRONG CARD ... 
The Item: Shane Bieber 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Gold Refractor (/50)
The Price: $128.50 after 12 bids (five days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: "Not Justin" is arguably already this year's Cy Young award-winner in the American League with a 7-1 record, a 1.53 ERA and 102 Ks -- Triple Crown numbers right now -- and that dominance also saw him hitting the 100-strikeout mark faster (62 1/3 innings) than any other player since 1900. His first prospect cards dropped in 2016 but his first autos from any company didn't arrive until 2018 and this is his Bowman Chrome ink debut. (He has a Topps Chrome Update auto as well as ink in Leaf Metal Draft, Leaf Trinity, Leaf Flash, Leaf Valiant, Bowman Platinum, Topps Heritage Minor League and a Prestige auto in Chronicles.) This one and the Topps Chrome seem like the leaders in the demand clubhouse and if you click the link below it shows how much there is for the rarer parallels in slabbed form.
