<b>2011 Bowman</b>
 
Despite the fact that the Hobby edition is not scheduled for released until May 25th, 2011 Bowman packs are beginning to show up at mass-market retail chains. The first listed copy of Bryce Harper's Bowman Chrome Prospect card sold on eBay for an astonishing $135.29; however, as the supply of Harper BowChro cards increased, prices have begun to level off into the $60 range.  It also appears that the much ballyhooed autographs of Bryce Harper and Manny Machado packed out as redemptions.
 
<b>Topps Gypsy Queen</b>
 
Upon the release of Gypsy Queen, there is talk abound the hobby about limited availability. It appears that only small amounts of Gypsy Queen are being made available to collectors, hobby shops, online retailers, etc... Some long-time set builders are debating on buying retail rather than hobby due to the high initial cost of hobby boxes. 
 
<b>2011 Topps</b>


The first series of Topps' flagship has been out for a couple of weeks, and as usual, there are many unannounced surprises. Over 50 players have a "Twink" variation, with these cards falling at about one-per-case. Many collectors have reported that the manufactured Glove Nameplate "relic" cards are falling apart right out of the pack. The mad scramble for Diamond Giveaway code cards are keeping the price of wax in the $65-$69/box range for Hobby and $109-$119/box for HTA.
