With 2010 Topps Chrome Baseball stocking shelves any day now, we have the first Topps made USA autographs hitting the market.  In this product, they will have the 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate team, which played this past summer and features many top 2011 draft picks.  Some of the players have had autographs in past Upper Deck sets, but others are making their first appearance.

Give that they cards will be non-serial numbered, on paper stock, mediocre design (this is a lesser factor), and in greater supply (so we believe), we predict the pricing below. I kept it conservative, considering that it’s the first Topps autos and a few of the top players have had past cards.

Feel free to give us some thoughts and/or criticism on the list.
