The Dallas Cowboys have the best record in the NFL at 11-1 and it's due to a pair of rookies who have played very, very well this season, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott.

Both are readily available in nearly all 2016 football wax, which is a big plus, but which one wins among collectors?

If you hadn't noticed this month, there have been a number of boxes with discounted prices now over on the mothership as BlowoutCards.com's Black November has been rocking the hobby.

Now, though, we're prepping for Black Friday with a preview wave of what's to come.

Many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz had to sit down and ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five options that caught this collector’s eye. (Be sure to click this link to see how much these will be discounted.)

2015 Bowman Chrome baseball hobby box
The rookie auto crop isn't what a lot of Chrome buyers scout first but the list of names found in this one is impressive -- Byron Buxton, Carlos Rodon, Francisco Lindor, Joc Pederson, Kris Bryant and Noah Syndergaard. There are, of course, then the prospects and plenty of rainbow potential that the Chromies are known to collect in bulk. A lower price on these boxes should entice more than a few rippers -- and cards like this Bryant auto could be in there with two autographs in every box.

Are you ready for some football cards? BlowoutCards.com has a chance for you to score big as part of our preparations for Black Friday.

In a comment right here on The Buzz, guess the total number of points scored in all three Thanksgiving NFL games without going over. The closest to predicting the total point score for the Vikings-Lions, Redskins-Cowboys and Steelers-Colts games -- without going over -- gets a 2016 Donruss football set.

If the total is guessed exactly, the winner gets a sealed 12-box case of 2016 Panini Prime Signatures -- a $660 value.

All entries must be entered before the first game starts at 12:30 Eastern time on Thursday. Comments will be held here before they are approved in batches. (Don’t worry if you don’t see your answer appear immediately on the page. It will show up.)

In the event of a tie, the first correctly posted entry based on the timestamp wins. Limit one entry per email address.

What: 2016 Panini National Treasures Collegiate baseball cards
Arrives: Jan. 4
Box basics:  Six autographs or memorabilia cards and two base/parallels per eight-card box (four boxes per case)

What’s buzz-worthy: National Treasures presence goes collegiate for baseball with top young stars and legends from the past all in one place in what Panini says is smaller than Immaculate Collection Collegiate, which it previously said was “the smallest case run in company history.” So now this one is the rarest.

The return of a familiar name in football comes on Wednesday with 2016 Panini Playoff, a brand that carries a modern feel with a new look that's still familiar for the retro name.

There's also some simplicity with a small number of parallel types that carry across all of the base cards, inserts and hits to go along with a retro (affordable) price.

He was honored in Indy this weekend and his card sold for a big price. This 1998 Peyton Manning autographed card closed at $52,580: pic.twitter.com/pE4GUKU7A6

— Joe Orlando (@JoeOrlandoPSA) November 21, 2016

Sometimes a big sale speaks for itself, but a PSA 10 copy of one of Peyton Manning's top autographed Rookie Cards might say even more.

That's not a typo -- $52,580 for a card that's less than 20 years old. (Not bad.)

Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson.

Those are the three most-successful drivers in NASCAR history when it comes to season championships and Johnson joined the other legends on Sunday when he won his seventh Sprint Cup at age 41.

Simply put, he's easily the best driver of the here and now -- and his cardboard is among the most-overlooked when it comes to value vs. performance. There are others who have done far less who sell just as well or better.
