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.

ON-CARD INCLUSIONS 
The Item: 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Zion Williamson & R.J. Barrett Hoops Art Signatures autograph
The Price: $2,499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: On-card autographs and multi-player autos aren't typically the norm for lower-end releases, but this year's edition of Hoops includes a few of those in this insert set and this isn't even the biggest card in that 10-card group, either. Williamson and Barrett have standalone solo autos in this one, while Williamson ink can be found alongside Ja Morant and Kobe Bryant, too. All 10 cards include just those four players in solo and combo pairings -- that's four solo and six combo cards. They can't be super-plentiful or easy to pull, but they're just adding to the big-chase feel in this release.

StockX's venture into graded trading cards has a new element as of right now.

It's the first trading card IPO on the platform -- 2019 Bowman Chrome X baseball cards -- and boxes of this limited release are live. There are five-box cases already active, too.

There is no suggested retail price for this initial product offering. Instead, the market lets the bidders set the price for these boxes after they sign up for a StockX account.

Each and every box of 2019 Bowman Chrome X new from Topps contains a PSA 9 or PSA 10 Green X-Fractor rookie or prospect card inside -- and each of them is serial-numbered to just 31 copies from a lineup of just 100 players selected to appear in this release.

There's a new player in the sports card landscape that you might already know pretty well depending on your taste in shoes.

StockX, a Detroit-based company founded in 2015, has perhaps been best known for helping collectors of in-demand basketball shoes like the Air Jordan 6 Travis Scott model you see here by being a platform for users to make and take offers in a few select categories.

But beginning this month there's a new addition to the company's lineup -- graded sports cards.

"Staying true to our mantra as the world’s first 'Stock Market of Things,' we are excited to announce trading cards as a brand new category for StockX," read a company statement. "We have been researching the trading-card space for a long time, and believe that our stock-market model will provide collectors and enthusiasts alike a superior e-commerce experience."
