A top prospect and the reigning National League MVP will be there ... and dealers and distributors out there should be, too.

Topps' second Industry Conference is set for next week at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., and registrations ($250) are still available for the event beginning on Sunday.

Set in the heart of the Cactus League, this event will include several speakers during the three-day duration of this one with San Diego Padres prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. a signing guest for the opening reception Sunday and Christian Yelich to be on hand Monday night. There also will be gifts for each day of attendance.

Keep reading for a breakdown of the schedule as provided by Topps.

SAN DIEGO'S NEW STAR?
The Item: Manny Machado 2010 Bowman Chrome Draft Gold Refractor Auto (/50, PSA 10-10)
The Price: $5,655 after 42 bids (seven hours remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Manny Machado has a agreed to a fat contract -- 10 years, $3o0 million -- with the San Diego Padres and now there might be some new fans for his key cards like this one. Will it make him more or less popular? I'm not sure, but the action on this card is strong right now. It should be interesting to see how it finishes up tonight. Boxes of this one won't be found easily or affordably, either, so it's the singles route here -- and your best bet is to go graded for sure. He's got a good volume of autos -- far cheaper options than this -- so you can find his ink if you need it. Will he be signing more autos with such a big deal? The size of the contract suggests he won't need to unless he wants to.

Have you seen the latest cool cards from a new release? With so many options for collectors of all kinds arriving every week it's possible you haven't. That's where Buzz comes in -- well at least on one brand you'll see here from time to time in what we're calling Buzz's Pick Six. Simply put, here are six cards from a new arrival that seemed interesting to this collector and we think they might interest you, too.

This week's release: 2019 Topps WWE Transcendent Collection

THE BOTTOM LINE ...
The Card: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin 2019 Topps WWE Transcendent Collection Autographs (any)
The Price: None of this color on eBay yet ... but they won't come cheap ($999 for base)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This high-end release has several of the biggest names in recent WWE history inside and few can top this guy, the beer-chugging, mouth-running, butt-whooping, bird-flipping hellraiser who helped redefine the wrestling landscape in the 1990s. His autographs here are his first cards signed for Topps, despite its current run of making WWE cards pushing 15 years now. (What?) He also only had one WWE-approved certified autograph before this release -- way back in the 2001 Fleer WWF WrestleMania Signature Moves Autographs set. That one is a no-frills standard card limited to only 500 copies and the only copy on eBay has a lofty asking price. It's been a strong seller in the past. The rainbow of autos in Transcendent include standard (/25), Blue (/15), Purple (/10), Black (/5) and 1/1 Gold and Red versions so these won't exactly open the floodgates to lower prices. Will there be more autos to come after these? I'm not sure I'd bank on it, but you never know. Either way, the 57 autos to come from this brand will be in demand.

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?
The Item: Tom Brady 2000 Bowman Chrome Refractor (RC parallel) BGS 9.5
The Price: $19,499 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: Think this price is crazy? It is, but it isn't -- check out that link below. You should know by now that Brady has won yet another Super Bowl ring after Sunday's snoozefest in Atlanta and you need to know that his Rookie Cards are easily some of the priciest football cards out there in top condition and in slabs. This one isn't the flashiest of them -- other big ones have autographs and command much more cash -- but this is one (non-Refractor) that I managed to pull from a pack back in the day so it gets my pick here. The pop report for this particular version shows 28 others in this grade and just one getting a 10. Just 207 Refractors have been slabbed by BGS while mine is pushing 3,000 with 103 BGS 10s and two getting a BGS Black perfect 10. Some of Brady's RCs have been faked, so slabbed is the way to go unless you want to pay big bucks to chase wax (not easy to find anyway). He's expensive but there's no doubt that he's atop the mountain right now. Is he a safe buy? Traditional thought might say that he's too pricey to get in on right now, but when Brady is the top guy in NFL history there should continue to be more attention and speculation money pumped into his cards from beyond the typical collecting base.

Buzz buys and busts a lot of boxes right here for Buzz Breaks, but one of my goals just might be to rip fewer blasters this year 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. Would they capture yours? I'd be interested to know -- sometimes they might, sometimes they won't and that's fine. It's a buyer's market out there with plenty of options and bargains as well as high-end gems to chase.

So, with all that said, here are a few Buzz Buys.

NOT A FIRST ... BUT SHE'S FINALLY ARRIVED 
The Card: Lacey Evans 2018 Topps WWE NXT Autographs
The Price: $5
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This former U.S. Marine is a newcomer to the main roster in WWE after making her debut in the No. 1 spot in this week's Royal Rumble match, but she's appeared on NXT cards since 2017 and had her first autographs back in that year, too. (The First NXT Card logo used here? Simple mistake.) I picked this one up partly because of the price (this card has sold for up to $20 ... even more for parallels) but also because of her anticipated arrival. Debut WWE ink can sell well -- I clicked and bought thinking it was her first -- but ultimately I added this one for a simple reason ... I didn't yet have any of her autos. One bonus here besides the price? This release is the home of her first on-card autos -- the previous ones have been stickers.

You can't see him, but he's one of six new Funko Pop! toys for WWE stars revealed this week.

He's 16-time WWE champ John Cena and this clear toy is an Amazon-only piece that leads off the newest wave of wrestling toys for fans that will begin arriving soon. He's waving his hand in front his face just as he does before "you can't see me" and the five-knuckle shuffle is applied to his opponent.

Who'll join him?

A new year for Topps Now WWE cardboard is here with the winners from this weekend's pay-per-views getting the first round of cardboard honors.

A lineup of 10 cards gets things going for 2019 Topps Now WWE with six cards from the Royal Rumble Sunday night and four winners from the NXT Takeover: Phoenix event from Saturday night.

Standard cards are $9.99 with discounts available for bulk purchases (as low as $79.99 for 20) or via bundles ($29.99 for the four NXT cards; $39.99 for the Rumble set). These cards are made to order once the 24-hour sales window is closed. So if 200 copies are ordered, only 200 will be made.

HIGHLY RATED ROOKIE
The Item: Baker Mayfield 2018 Donruss Optic Gold Rated Rookie Autograph (/10) (BGS 9.5/10)
The Price: $2,799.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The No. 1 pick in last year's NFL Draft delivered a record-setting season for a rookie with 27 passing touchdowns for the Cleveland Browns ... now imagine if he had played every game this season. He was clearly a spark for a team that went winless in 2017 and tied its best record posted since 2007. There are a few young stars on this team that could have hobby potential down the line and he's at the top of the list. It should be interesting to see what the Browns can add in the draft, too.  This card is an elite pull -- good luck landing one from a pack -- and there will inevitably be growing demand for his rookie-year stuff if he builds upon this almost Rookie of the Year campaign. (Saquon Barkley probably gets it in my mind.) Over time, I think Mayfield has more cardboard potential with team success.
