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.

SportKings is back and one of the surprises in store for this one is that the legendary brand will be found in blaster boxes this time around -- with a hit in every box -- without a premium price. 

This time around, it's SAGE creating the brand that stems from the 1930s, and while we'll have more details for you if you keep reading, the big key today is that there's another surprise as this one has arrived.

Blowout Cards will be giving away the contents of a 20-box case on Friday at 11 a.m. (Eastern) right here on BlowoutTV.

It's no surprise to see a New Orleans Saints player with a gaudy stat line but this time it's a dominating game from a guy who's been a dominator all year.

Saints WR Michael Thomas dialed up a big night in a win over the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Rams with 12 catches for 211 yards and a touchdown that included a "call"afterward. (That was likely to the league office to see how big his fine would be for using a prop on the field, especially if it wasn't the league-approved brand of phone he had hidden under the goalpost.)

This former Ohio State star is all over cardboard with more than 2,500 different cards since his arrival in 2016 NFL boxes and he's got more than 800 different autographed cards for fans to chase, too. >> Check out his autos on eBay  The game was his biggest of the year and just his third 100-yard game Despite that, he's fourth in the NFL with 880 yards this season and is second in receptions. With a lot of toys in the Drew Brees-led arsenal, Thomas might be overlooked on his own team to a degree when it comes to cardboard but he shouldn't be.

He's not a rookie, but he's the newest NFL star to emerge in this young season.

His name is Patrick Mahomes II and the Kansas City Chiefs QB completed 23 of 28 passes for 326 yards and six touchdowns against Pittsburgh in a 42-37 shootout Sunday afternoon. That last stat upped Mahomes' season TD total to 10, which is a new NFL record for the first two games of a season -- the record was nine held by Peyton Manning (2013), Drew Brees (2009) and Charley Johnson (1965). His six TDs were just one short of the NFL passing record for a single game.
