2010 Topps T206 is set to release in late summer of 2010. Each hobby box will include 20 packs with 7 baseball cards in each pack. You should look for one autographed card and one relic card in each hobby box. There will be one parallel card per pack. Of the mini parallel cards, there will be new 1-of-1 red chrome carolina brights variations which should spark collectors interests, and probably generate some bidding wars on eBay. Also new for 2010 will be American Caramel backed mini parallel cards. (Nice to see the candy makers with an appearance, as opposed to the usual tobacco makers!)
If you’re looking for new Stephen Strasburg cards, it’s been said that he will now be included in the Topps releases for the remainder of 2010, including T206.
Each hobby box of this stuff should run you somewhere between $80 and $90.

2010 Allen and Ginter is scheduled to be released by Topps in late June. A perennial collector favorite, 2010′s version of Allen and Ginter will be sure not to disappoint once again. In each hobby box, look to find a combination of any three of an: auto card, relic card, cut signature, rip card, printing plate plus a box loader.
It’s always good to purchase from your local hobby shop, if you have one, because not only are you helping out a local small business, but hopefully you’re making a contact who will help you out learning about new products, and who may even cut you a break on some cards. But, if you don’t have a local hobby shop, here are the places to look online to find your best deal on 2010 Allen and Ginter hobby boxes.
Dave and Adam’s who I’ve found to be reliable and to offer good deals is selling hobby boxes for $105.95. As usual with Dave adn Adam, you get free UPS ground shipping if your order is over $150.
The Georgetown Card Exchange is offering a deal on 3 or more boxes of Allen and Ginter for $94.95 each. Not a bad deal, if you’ve got the dough.
Blowout Cards has limited inventory at a price of $95 per hobby box, and you’ll get free shipping if you purchase $5 more of any product (free shipping on $99 or more orders).
And as usual you just might find your best deal on eBay
