If you hadn't noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices right now right here as Blowout Cards' Black November sales have arrived this year.

The fourth wave is here and many of the discounts were dramatic enough that Buzz once again had to ponder the possibilities in many of the boxes and cases -- and here are five that caught this collector’s eye ... and there's far more that just might suit your tastes in the big sale.

NOW'S THE TIME ...
2022 Panini Prizm WWE wrestling cards hobby boxes
This one is an important release for wrestling card collectors since it was the first Panini America WWE set and it's one that is absolutely loaded with actual Rookie Cards for a bunch of new NXT 2.0 and NXT UK stars who didn't have any previous cardboard at all as well as most of the biggest names of the past and present -- all in one spot, all on one checklist and all with rainbows of parallels. Throw in autographs and a boatload of color and inserts and there's big potential here. The Prizm investor crowd here certainly pumped these up big-time as there is big potential here the rarest stuff ... but the box prices have dropped heavily since release. Why? There's supply for everything available here -- for now -- and that volume of singles, parallels (a deep rainbow on every card and plenty of retail and hobby boxes, too) couldn't keep up with the volume of buyers if you take away the flippers. It remains the same solid release that it was when the boxes were three times the price ... but now it's a more reasonable rip. If you land big stuff you're probably still OK -- maybe more ahead vs. the past -- but if you're a collector this might be closer to the price point where it's more do-able.

LOOK AT THAT INK! 
The Item: Wander Franco 2022 Topps Postseason Autographs (/50)
The Price: $3,500 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy's cardboard is leading the way right now in terms of the chatter, the hype, the dollar signs ... all of it. Part of that is speculators wanting in on the big MLB talent for sure, but his play last year and his new big, long-term contract all help justify the interest. Why does this one lead off here? Well, it's not his flashiest, priciest or even best card ... but in this case the sticker is perfect. His auto has a lot of loops to it and others I have seen have all been running off of it ... even on better cards. (Is this one the norm? I don't know -- I didn't look too closely at everything out there -- but keeping all the ink on the sticker should matter. (Or a better way to say it, a bad sticker can hurt.) Keep that in mind if you're dabbling to slab here. If you're ripping packs, keep in mind that jumbos have ink every time ... so, realistically, you have a better shot at Franco ink there. Ink is also in hobby -- but not every box.
