Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here every week as we're launching a weekly version of our eBay Buzz pieces that pop up from time to time. We’ll spotlight some items that have a story or just wow us with how much interest it might have — and we’re not just talking baseball cards, either.

SPORTKINGS SURPRISES 
The Item: Kevin VanDam 2018 SportKings Volume 1 silver patch-auto card (/10)
The Price: $113.50 after seven bids (about nine hours remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: SportKings is back with SAGE behind the wheel and this is one of the interesting inclusions that could surprise you. There's one hit per blaster box but you get multiple autos and mem cards per box and this is one of the cards that you might not think is cash but when a star has few other cards then supply and demand takes over. There are obvious legends of yesteryear here like Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown and more recent stars such as WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. There are base cards for legendary bull (really) Bodacious and really fun stuff like paintings and patch cards that will wow you. It's worth a serious look.

He had a day ... but his team still lost.

Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey dominated in two ways on Sunday with 17 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown and a nearly league-leading 11 catches for 112 and another touchdown but the only wins went out to fantasy league owners who started him as the Seahawks won it 30-27.

He's probably not the top hobby guy on the team, but here might still be bargains out there for McCaffrey, whose Rookie Cards and debut autos can be found in 2017 boxes. That may not last with more games like this one. >> Check out his autos on eBay
