Will the “Cuban Missle Crisis” overtake “Strasmas”
Aroldis Chapman made his MLB Debut this week and was clocked on the gun at over 102 MPH. His cards have exploded on Ebay including his Bowman issues, and EEE autographs. Now Topps has released some names that will be in the upcoming checklists of their Bowman Chrome, Sterling, Draft as well as Topps Chrome autographs on top of the Team USA autographs that they released earlier in the week. Names like Jason Heyward, Carlos Santana, Aroldis Chapman, Jake Skole, Brian Matusz and more will be included keep reading to see the entire list.
The 2010 Team USA is coming to Topps and Bowman line
Topps released a press release about the players that will be included in Bowman, and Topps Chrome and other products through their agreement with Team USA. It should be interesting because the original image released seems to hint that the one per case hit in Topps Chrome this year may not even be a chrome autograph. It may be a paper stock one akin to the AFLAC auto’s. This should be interesting to see how it plays out. On a personal note, I am happy to see a good friend of mine, and a great ball player Jason Esposito highlighted by Topps in their press release.

2010 Topps Chrome Preview
Topps released information on the 2010 Topps Chrome release today. This set brings some new twists to the Topps Chrome set including Heritage , T206, and National Chicle chromes, and in my opinion the biggest addition is the 2010 Team USA on card autographed inserts. All this plus, you can almost guarantee another Stephen Strasburg Superfractor!

Bowman Chrome Draft is LIVE!!!
2008 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks and Prospects is LIVE and already Freedom Card Board Member Elemin8 has pulled one of the best cards you could get out of the product. The card that we exclusively revealed that would be in the set’s Gold Refractor has been released.
If you listened to our first podcasts, we had Clay Luraschi from Topps on and he revealed that Buster Posey would be in Bowman Chrome Draft Picks and Prospects. So it was pretty cool to see the first huge pull out of the product was live. The card is already on EBay and awaiting a Wossa offer.
We should be seeing a lot more coming out of this product in the upcoming weeks. This is many prospectors set of the year, but it should be interesting to see how it does with Razor snagging so many of the top players from this years draft. I personally think both Topps and Razor will do well with their products. Everything Topps did to juice up BCDP by listening to the fans, I think, should definitely pay off with two of the strongest products we have seen in a long time.

Razor looking for opinions on agreement with ThePit.com
Brian from Razor on FreedomCardBoard started this thread soliciting opinions on what kind of uncirculated cards people wanted to see Razor release to ThePit.com. The three options for them were as follows
Non-Auto base cards (Chrome) – Priced at $6-7 each. 499 printed
Auto (Chrome)..price $10-40 depend on player. 399 printed.
Auto (Chrome)..same as above but varied print run by player.
One other interesting thing on this was it is waiting until December 31st because the patent on the Chrome technology runs out at that point. This could make for some interesting developments.
