Hobby buzzBowman Draft Picks & Prospects Prices are holding steady for BDP&P at $55-$65 a box and $625-$675 a case. Debates among prospectors about the long-term value of 2010 BDP&P and when to sell are abundant. Bowman Chrome The price of 2010 Bowman Chrome is on the decline. Cases are now selling for $450-$500 each (about $40/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 of the contest can be found on the 2010 Bowman Chrome page and in the Topps press release.

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. Topps 206 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.
