	Hobby buzz Bowman 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.
