The SCN "REAL" MARKET REPORT:
Its Topps Series 1 Baseball...Just Buy It. That's pretty much been the thinking every year. Don't question it, Topps 1 is a base brand product that delivers every year. This year, they released Hobby a week before the Jumbos which gave all the Case Breakers a Heart Attack. You never know what Topps will do next. Maybe the Jumbos will have something special that will be worth the wait...Maybe not. In any case, Topps Hobby BB is a solid break with a Hit in every box, solid subsets and a Million Card giveaway.

SCN DIRECTIONAL REPORT (Which way will prices move in the next 60 days):
Watch for cases to come out in the $600 range. There's always alot of Topps but series 1 will dry up in a few months and move higher as it always does. Last years Hobby went to $75+ and Jumbos went to $125+. It was so hard to find last year that collectors were chasing Retail blasters and Target and Walmart packs. After the initial 2-3 week dip, watch for cases to start moving higher. We could see these as a $780+ Case in a few months.
