Sorry if this has been asked already, but the boxes are dropping like mad. What gives?

Blame it soley on Strasburg's injury.

If he ended up the year 14-1 with a sub 1 ERA and was healthy, this stuff would be going nuts and everyone would be happy.

Now all people can do is complain about the least expensive bowman chrome break in YEARS.

Topps did this because they wanted to meet the demand that 2010 Bowman had.

I can't imagine they like seeing $250 retail prices on the secondary market for a $50 box.

They wanted to get a cut as well, and if STras never got injured and his chrome rookie was selling for $600 apiece, the prices would not have fallen.

After 2010 Bowman, Topps must have anticipated Strasburg hype in every product they released in 2010.

Now they are reaping the benefits of banking on a guy who blew out his arm. ::facepalm::

Same here. There may be overproduction on the boxes, but the lineup is still pretty damn solid.

Yes, there is the curl along with Scuff Marks and a white powder on most of the cards too.
The cards are really bad this time around.

First off, it is massively overproduced.

Second, it is overproduced because people thought it would be like Bowman, even though it seemed very clear it wouldn't. The value in 2010 Bowman in terms of Strasburg wasn't necessarily in his autos. Yes, they were nice additions, but the majority of people who ripped didn't make their money through his autos.

They made their money through Strasburg with his base, base chrome, and insert cards. If you sold around his debut you could average almost $300 just from his base stuff alone.

You could have the worst luck in terms of refractors and autos of anyone in the set, yet you would still make $300+ back before selling ANY of your hits.

Boxes can go as low as $25 and any local card shop can still have the same boxes marked up at $90 each.
