<b>Bowman Chrome</b>
 
The price of 2010 Bowman Chrome is on the decline. Cases are now selling for $500-$600 each ($42-$50/box). It appears that Topps overproduced Bowman Chrome. An estimated 9,000-10,000 cases were produced. Most likely due to declining prices on Bowman Chrome, Topps recently announced a hobby redemption wrapper contest. Details have yet to surface.
 
<b>Topps Chrome</b>
 
Due to an number of reasons including [http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=107231&start=15 an increase in production from previous years], some quality control issues, an initial lack of refractors in hobby boxes and Steven Strasburg's injury, the price for 2010 Topps Chrome is declining. Hobby box prices are now as low as $40 each.
 
In an effort to placate collectors who pre-ordered Topps Chrome before Stephen Strasburg's season ending injury; Topps has announced a wrapper redemption program. Collectors who sent in a full Hobby box's worth of wrappers (24), will receive three "variation" cards from a special 15-card set. Every tenth pack will contain three Refractor parallels.
 
<b>Topps 206</b>
 
Topps 206 is taking a beating on the secondary-market.  Prices for a Hobby box at most of the main waxjobbers have fallen below the $50 mark, and one dealer at The [[Philly Show]] was seen selling leftover 206 Hobby boxes for $48.
 
Serious quality control issues have plagued the initial packs.  Many of the one-per-pack mini-sized parallels are coming out of the pack severely [[Miscut | mis-cut]] and/or [[Diamond Cut | diamond cut]].
