Maybe it's the single eyebrow. Maybe it's the chance at a pair of polo shirts. Maybe it's just the oldschool Hornets logo.

Maybe it's just because it's Anthony Davis that this pair of cards -- a duo of Panini America show promos limited to only 499 copies; the left being the first, the right being the last -- is worth a look.

Why is this post here? Maybe it's because of this asking price.

He's a 7-foot-3 NBA rookie who's on the only team with perhaps the best shot of dethroning the Golden State Warriors' juggernaut. He's a rookie who's only averaged 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds a game but already has regional TV commercial appearances because he's already got a bit of a cult following.

His name is Boban Marjanovic ... and he's a San Antonio Spur who's also now got his first official NBA Rookie Card from Panini America. It's arrived at a perfect time, too.

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon may not have won the NBA's slam dunk contest during the All-Star weekend, but he's arguably the biggest winner on cardboard from the midseason showcase.

The story lines heading into this one revolved around the big names -- the biggest name and story being the final All-Star appearance for Kobe Bryant -- and the game's MVP was a big and well-collected name, too, in Russell Westbrook. Even the dunk contest winner, Zach LaVine, was already well-known with his status as last year's winner.

Gordon is the one who was introduced to the world -- or at least the world of casual basketball fans and collectors.

Maybe it's just the National Pizza Day buzz at work here -- or maybe some of those Papa John's commercials during NFL games -- but Buzz has to wonder what kind of demand there might be for a Peyton Manning & John Schnatter dual autograph card.

Maybe it's just a cheesy idea, but Buzz knows it wouldn't sell for pocket change if we found Manning and the world's most-famous pizza-selling football fan on a National Treasures card from Panini America. Buzz has imagined it above. Heck, maybe he'd be game for some kind of Ball State (where he went to school) or a Louisville college card, too? (The Cardinals play at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.)

It would be a fun, memorable and valuable football card if it became a reality -- one that might dwarf any other Manning autograph out there, too, simply because it's something unique. Maybe J.J. Watt, Joe Montana and other NFL players who have had pizza ties could get in on the action, too?

Are you hungry for a card like this? Tell us here or on Twitter.

It's pretty obvious who won and who lost after Super Bowl 50 on Sunday night without a glance at the scoreboard that read Broncos 24, Panthers 10.

The storybook finish happened for one, an emergence for another. And for the losing team we saw the best and the worst possibilities -- for guys who have plenty of good and now bad potential on cardboard. Here's a rundown ...

Von Miller -- Not long ago he was a guy coming off a suspension and an ACL tear, but on Sunday night the Broncos LB became one of a handful of defensive stars named the Super Bowl MVP. He recorded six tackles, two forced fumbles and two sacks for a loss of 27 yards. His strip of Cam Newton in the fourth quarter set up the final score of the game. Miller's Rookie Cards can be found in 2011 boxes and he's undoubtedly seen an uptick in interest simply because defensive stars are often overlooked. Will it last? Probably not, but he'll always have the MVP award in the record book. It will help, though, if he remains in Denver.

We're a day away from the Pro Football Hall of Fame revealing its 2016 class of inductees, and there's been plenty said about a group that includes Brett Favre, Ken Stabler, Terrell Davis, Terrell Owens and other finalists as the hours click down to Saturday night.

And that's when there will be even more said.

But Buzz was wondering about college ties for the big names this year and noticed something else -- many of the candidates come from big schools with a number of Hall of Famers already enshrined. That got Buzz thinking about which schools have the most players in Canton -- and whether this year's class might shake things up in the record book.

As part of the unending pre-Super Bowl coverage, fans will inevitably hear more about a guy who's not been seen on cardboard much in recent years.

It's Carolina Panthers tackle Michael Oher -- the subject of The Blind Side, an Oscar-nominated film from 2009 that starred Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw as his adopted parents.

Oher was a first-round pick out of Ole Miss in 2009 and was a member of the 2013 Baltimore Ravens, which won it all. But since then he's battled injuries and was released by the Tennessee Titans before the Panthers came calling. His story being revisited could spark added interest in his football cards.
