That first auto being a redemption now has a redeeming quality.

Topps revealed on Friday plans for the The Ultimate Collector Experience -- an event where any collector who pulled one of the 99 redemptions for the Victor Wembanyama Green Refractor autograph card from packs of 2022-23 Bowman University Chrome can attend an event on Sept. 23 in San Antonio where they will have a shot at receiving the inscribed first signed card.

Those who already redeemed their codes will be notified by Topps and a deadline for any newer pulls to be redeemed is Sept. 8. One person who attends in-person or virtually with a card will get the one-of-a-kind inscribed copy.

"After you’ve submitted your Wemby redemption card code, you will be invited to attend the live in-person Ultimate Collector Experience by Topps, where you will then be eligible to be randomly selected to receive the 2022-23 Bowman U Chrome Victor Wembanyama Green parallel '1st card I ever signed' inscribed auto," read the Topps reveal. "If you are unable to join us in person, you will still be eligible to receive the 2022-23 Bowman U Chrome Victor Green parallel '1st card I ever signed' inscribed auto as your redemption by participating virtually."

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 ... a mix of low-and and higher-end finds as well as some non-traditional things people might like to collect.

MY HERITAGE SLEEPER SET ... 
The Card: Hank Aaron 2023 Topps Heritage Puzzles (announced /500)
The Price: $17.99
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This oversized box-topper set isn't huge at just 20 puzzles on the checklist but they don't drop all that often, either, from what I have seen -- one per case at most (and maybe not at all). It's one that I knew I liked immediately back when Heritage dropped with its lineup of mostly current names but also with some past stars all in one spot. What are they? Literal puzzles shrink-wrapped to a cardboard backer placed atop the packs in some boxes. A total of 13 active players (two rookies) are here along with seven Hall of Famers -- but some obvious names like Shohei Ohtani didn't make the cut ... so I suspect we'll see more in the second series later this year. I liked a few of the options in this one but waited for prices to dip and they really haven't as much as I had hoped they would. (Why? They're on the rarer side of things compared to a lot of stuff in this one.) This one presented itself on more of the affordable side more recently so I bit. These are just oldschool cool if you ask me -- something that feels a bit anti-2023 but also not totally part of a rigid Heritage formula that's been going for two decades plus now. I like surprises -- and this set felt like one.
