Soon, it will be time.

Packs of 2023-24 Topps Mercury Victor Wembanyama will be in collectors' hands along with C.J. Stroud Topps Now autos, pricey new Marvel and Disney Chrome boxes and even fresh shots at key Rookie Cards for Patrick Mahomes, Shohei Ohtani and Luka Doncic. Oh, and there can be prospect gems for Paul Skenes, Jackson Holliday and others on collectors' minds these days, too.

How? They're all part of the 2024 Blowout Cards Holiday Edition MegaMix (click here) which began shipping early -- this week instead of Dec. 18. It's a mixed-box case where, at worst, you'll land a mix of 20 blaster boxes but every third case ups the ante with some bigger stuff and a little less of the smalls.

Among the biggest finds? There's a wide array of bonuses from a $5,000 Blowout Site Credit or a $1,000 Blowout Site Credit as well as cases of Select NFL, National Treasures, Exquisite Collection and Topps Chrome, which is also the home to other pricey cards of the NBA's reigning Rookie Of The Year. (Cases and credits will be issued as a redemption scratch-off page as was done in past years and will ship free of charge once redeemed ... and you'll still get a number of blaster boxes, too.) If you don't land one of those, there's always a chance you might land hobby boxes of landmark Prizm years (you know, the years with That Mahomes Guy and Doncic) or power-packed Bowman Draft boxes among others. There's even some Dynasty Formula 1 to be found as well as plenty of Chrome.

That's just part of the lineup for this one you see above ... get your 2024 Blowout MegaMix box now.

It's BBWAA Awards Week for Major League Baseball and one of the most-notable winners made his way into my game-used collection this year ... well, sort of.

This month's ball in the Collecting Game-used series is another that came to me via a blind grab bag where all I knew was the date of the game ... but this time that wasn't to my advantage as, well, the baseballs pitched by the now-reigning National League Rookie Of The Year, Paul Skenes, command a 15x premium price over the rest of baseballs from this day and this game. Despite that, I rolled the dice, hoping for a possible inventory error or something interesting from what was still a Skenes start ... and I got just that.

Keep reading to see the details this time ... and the ball in action.
