Don't call it a Dusty Finish ... it's more like a Royal Rumble countdown for a new tag team.

A week before Panini America's first WWE card release drops as part of its new card licensing deal, Fanatics and WWE revealed on Monday that the former license-holder will become its next exclusive card-maker at the expiration of that deal in a few years. Before that, Fanatics will handle WWE's "e-commerce and licensed merchandise, as well as physical, digital, and non-fungible token trading cards" as part of a "comprehensive, long-term sports and entertainment partnership." (Translation: It will handle its website sales like it does for other sports leagues via WWEShop.com.)

“Fanatics is the industry leader and Michael Rubin is a visionary,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO in a prepared release. “We believe this multi-platform partnership will set a new standard for WWE e-commerce, apparel and merchandise, while providing our fans globally with more ways than ever to engage with WWE and our Superstars.”

USA Baseball remains on Panini America's team.

Both parties revealed on Monday that a second "long-term extension" of their deal that launched a decade ago has been signed, giving Panini the exclusive rights to create baseball cards for its stable of teams. That includes the Collegiate National Team down to the developmental squads for teens.

“Our relationship with USA Baseball has given us the ability to showcase tomorrow’s stars first as they make their way through the USA Baseball program,” Panini CEO Mark Warsop said in a prepared release. “We look forward to continuing the partnership and featuring the top prospects in the game.

What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas this time ... because Blowout Cards will be there.

A million-dollar break of 25 cases of 2020-21 Panini Flawless and Flawless FOTL basketball cards -- an event that's pretty much the most-valuable group-break ever -- will happen at 7 p.m. Eastern Thursday night in Las Vegas. This high-stakes break will be streamed via YouTube (right here and right here) and is sponsored by Goldin. It will be hosted by Layton Sports Cards and Blez Sports Cards. Blowout will be there as a case sponsor with action from the scene captured online -- and we'll also embed the video feeds right here on The Buzz.

Spots in the now sold-out break were $40,000 apiece and were filled via both Layton and filled via Blez. There will be 15 standard cases and 10 FOTL cases in the break.

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 ... and this time around it's the biggest Buzz Buys ever. (A collection of pick-ups from recent times as well as in the past year or so.)

BUZZ FELT RICH AGAIN ... 
The Card: Derek Jeter 2012 Panini National Treasures Prime Button (/6)
The Price: More than I'll admit.
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This was a premium-priced pick-up for me but I only landed it after getting rid of a lot of smaller cards slowly but surely -- and that's something I should do more often. Sure, it's centering is off -- that's the one obvious issue -- but I always liked the simplicity and lineup of options for this first year of Panini National Treasures. I typically stick to the old guys but a button card of a new Hall of Famer wasn't a bad add and at the price it's a good long-term hold. I got this at a fraction of many Jeter game-used button cards out there. That's all I'll say for now -- I'm keeping these a little shorter than normal as this is the biggest roundup of pick-ups I've ever done.
