It's something we haven't (yet?) seen in a trading card, but post-game celebration confetti isn't just fodder for random eBay auctions any more. 

With a new NFL season here, Buzz was curious if any new memorabilia or other pieces had popped up yet via Fanatics, which helps bring new game-used, Rookie Premiere-used and autographs to the masses when they're not found in packs of cards.

And that's when I found this unique gem of sorts. It's a 10-inch tall display for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and its the home of a capsule of post-game confetti from Super Bowl LII. It's a $99.99 item ... and it's not alone.

One of the most-remembered moments for the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans this past week -- beyond their Super Bowl LII win that is -- has to be Jason Kelce's eccentric look and his expletive-laden speech that was oh-so-Philly delivered to the masses at the end of the team's championship parade.

His only in-pack football cards are the same way -- colorful and eccentric, but without the expletives.

You won't have to dig that far back to find the Rookie Cards of this 2011 draft pick, though, as his first in-pack cards come from 2017 Panini Unparalleled.

That's the only place you'll find him on a regular-issue standard card in a pack, though you do have a couple of other card options that come via less-traditional methods and an insert appearance to chase.

Keep reading for a breakdown ... and make sure you've eaten breakfast. (It's some of Kelce's life philosophy or something.)

Nick Foles' big catch gets a solo nod and 35 members of your Super Bowl LII champion Philadelphia Eagles are also getting new football cards very soon.

That's thanks to Panini Instant.

Panini America's real-time trading card platform has a Foles card showing his shocking fourth-down touchdown catch from the big game up for grabs for only 24 hours -- all three parallels, including two autographs are already gone -- but that's not all.

If you're a long-time reader of The Buzz, then you've seen this card before, but with the Super Bowl last night in Minneapolis there was a reason for it to hit The Buzz's Twitter Machine, too.

It's a 1992 Pro Line Profiles card for Hall of Famer Howie Long, and it was among the few tweets in an 11-hour marathon for Super Bowl LII last night simply because of the tree-climbing kid on the right.

Why? That's Eagles defensive end Chris Long, who was roughly six years old at the time of this family portrait that made its way to cardboard -- and that's far from the only piece of trivia here.

Even if Tom Brady doesn't get his sixth Super Bowl ring on Sunday, his Rookie Cards from 2000 will remain the hottest cards in the hobby as it's become abundantly clear that he's The One to those who target the all-time elite on cardboard.

The biggest challenge to chasing Brady RCs isn't really finding them -- you can, but they're not cheap -- the biggest challenge of them all might be finding wax boxes where you can pull one yourself.

But we've got a shot for you to do it over on the main site.

When Tom Brady or Nick Foles touch a football for the first time on Sunday in Super Bowl LII, they won't be the first to handle them.

Beyond game preparations and handling each ball for the biggest NFL game of the year will have been "tagged" by PSA/DNA with synthetic DNA ink. There are approximately 100 footballs prepped to be used at some point during the game and those aren't the only items authenticated by the company, which has been doing this for the Super Bowl for more than a decade.

A Super Bowl LI ring issued to a member of Tom Brady's family is up for grabs right now via Goldin Auctions.

The size 10.5 world champions ring weighs 77.3 grams and is identical to the one issued to the quarterback who led his New England Patriots to a shocking come-from-behind overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons a year ago. It's a 10 karat white-gold ring with 260 diamonds worked into the design.

It's believed to be the first ring or award tied to Brady to be hit the open market, and bidding opened at $20,000 -- and there's already action with the bidding.
