What happens when an homage to a legendary basketball card set meets the most-marvelous team of mutants on a rare variant cover with a big side of "Snikt?"

We'll find out soon.

This variant cover of X-Men Legends No. 1 arrives only on DiamondGalleries.com later this month with Wolverine joining the 1986-87 Fleer "Rookie Card" crop as imagined by artist Matthew DiMasi. The artist's specialty? Oversized pieces that are mosaics made from broken tiles as part of his Shattered Comics works that have appeared on a number of Marvel Comics variant covers.

Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here. 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.

NEW CHROME
The Item: Ken Griffey Jr. 2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Aqua Wave Refractor
The Price: $249.95 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: I don't think this price is a solid one -- but as an early arrival on eBay it might get hit as this massive set (700 cards) could create challenges of easily finding any one name you're hunting, let alone a parallel of an iconic player with a solid photo and a team-appropriate parallel color. All those variables are why Junior bats lead-off here. The parallel rainbow isn't quite as vast as was originally planned for this year-later, delayed-but-now-here release, but it is one that will still create collector challenges if they dare to do it all. (I think some people might try sets given the convergence of Chrome and a Heritage-ish feel.)

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 ...

--

SOMETHING SIMPLE ... 
The Card: Shaun Alexander 2000 EX NFL Debut Postmarks
The Price: $7.75
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This is a throwback leading off because I have a simple question to present with it ... have we seen anything like this recently? As you can see, this card has a stamp affixed to a card with a postmark applied on the day of his NFL debut, which was in Miami. It's a simple kind of non-traditional card -- I don't think I'd call it a hit -- but something like this could mix things up a bit. Sure, there's a little extra work involved here but ... something different in packs that can be done for pocket change wouldn't hurt, right?
Grab a box right here: Nothing for this one ... but NFL boxes are here

What: 2022 Topps Star Wars Chrome Black trading cards
Arrives: Nov. 2
Box basics: One autograph in every four-card box (12 boxes per case)
Checklist: Click here
Order: Click here

What's buzz-worthy: The Topps Chrome Black formula goes intergalactic with this first release for Star Wars that will follow the familiar format sports fans have seen for a couple years now.

A BIG-INK REMINDER
The Item: Natalie Portman & Hayden Christensen 2021 Topps Star Wars Masterwork Gold Dual Dutographs (1/1)
The Price: $24,999.99 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This is a big card, but I'm not totally sure it's $25,000 big ... but it could be given the crazy prices paid for rare stuff these days. This one leads off here just as a reminder that some big names are very possible in this new arrival that was delayed. You get four hits per box and my Buzz Break box ripped yesterday included ink three times. The multi-person autos here include big names that can only be had on cardboard now via stickers but in the Star Wars world the big ink is big no matter what. Don't believe me?
