Anyone feel that 2010 was the peak for BB cards? Will 2011 be just as hot or even hotter?

I think thatthis year will match last years. And I think that 2011 BC draft will have a lot to do with it. Will be a great auto checklist if they arent swept up by Razor 2.0

Will be better than 2010 if Harper makes the bigs, but that is doubtful.

I don't know, few could ever get the status Strasburg had. A pitcher throwing like that is generational, unless Harper comes in an hits 50+ HRs. Plus Chapman last year as well.

I see this year being just as frustrating as 2010 for me if we continue to have only 1 mediocre mfg

I think 2011 will be better than 2010 for the primary reason that more prospectors have come into the industry than ever before. With the sudden inflow of people purchasing prospect cards since Strasburg got called up late last season, the demand will increase overall prices even more than we've seen thus far in the offseason and spring training.

Slower. I can't imagine all the people out there who got burned by buying Strasburg at record high prices are that enthusiastic about putting more money into this hobby. Baseball's popularity is waning, the economy is still bad, and there are increasing legions of collectors who are not very happy with Topps' products.
I was counting on Dom Brown being hot out of the gate, but that collapsed quickly. No Strasburg in the majors. And the Giants are defending world champs. Yawn.
2011 Bowman will be decent, but not as big as 2010 bowman.
Pacquiao may help drive Ginter sales.
If heritage has a slow showing this year, it will dictate "collecting" for the rest of the year - people just aren't doing it.
Prospecting really has no uber prospects after the Harper train has left the station.
Did I mention not really anything too exciting about Topps this year? SOS, I dare to imagine.
If pitching continues to dominate, it will be snoozefestapalooza this year compared to 2010.

Those collectors with a good understanding of what the hobby can reasonably offer - and have good balance with their collecting habits - will continue to have a good time as always.
Those that expect too much of cardboard will, as always, be disappointed.

Nothing wrong with the 90s, but once 1990 UD Hi Number came out and had the "Find The Reggie" Autograph, Carboard was changed forever... for "good" or "bad" depends on who you ask

2010 was the greatest season ever.

Interesting to think about the high and low points.
High points were 1981 (Fleer/Donruss shake up the market), 1989 (UD/Griffey craze), and 2005 (height of Game-Used craze, Ichiro/Pujols hotness). 2010 would be somewhat below average if I was graphing the peaks and valleys.
But the great rookie crop should help draw more new blood into the hobby.
