Definitely. And nope, they look identical to any other rookie base card. (Other than the last three digits of the CMP code on the back are 157 instead of 145, but who’s looking at those?)

Many of the 2011 relic cards were SP'ed and SSP'ed. There used to be a collector who knew everything about them. It does seem like topps just knows it will sell no matter what. The memories make it worth it.

I agree with every word you said 100%.

Pulled this rip card earlier:

Decided to take my chances and pulled this from it:

Kid has some nasty stuff - right color ink too!

It's crazy - I just watched this kid pitch yesterday (was tuning in for some Wander action initially)...and I was really impressed, especially those first 5 innings. I'll be hanging onto this one, for sure.

How common are hot boxes with all the cards being the rainbow-glossy ones? Just opened my first box of A&G in 7 years and hit a hot box.

... btw, Topps killed it with that hotbox design.

One per case. They’re really nicely done this year.

Probably one of the more worthless cut autos …. I’d rather have base card of Jason Biggs

Also before liberals go haywire about this post keep in mind he has autos up on the eBay a lot nicer in quality on a picture of him and the great MLK for around 4-8 dollars each

Yeah that’s the worst cut auto I’ve seen on many levels. At least someone who would really want it got it though, so that’s cool.

Sounds like it's worth a lot to the person who pulled it. Your comment is worthless on the other hand.

Sorry that a cut out 1/2 auto that when is full is worth 4 dollars

I plan to break 1 case of this. I bought 3, I got them for 99 a box presale. Plan to sell 2 cases at an upcoming card show. Too many bad cases and this will likely be the first year I don’t get many eBay singles since everything is 4-5x what it should be going for … AKA Varitek and Ortiz auto for 2500 lmao … card is worth 200 on a good day

Found a blaster at Walmart today. Don't normally bust A&G as I'm not a fan at all of either minis nor non-sports cards. But I went ahead and got one because they only had this and GQ. I busted GQ last weekend and got nothing to speak of, so that's why I went with A&G.

Pulled a nice auto. First auto I've hit in retail in a while (last one was a Freddie Freeman patch/auto #d/30 in Series 1). At least Verdugo a baseball player, and I've heard of him. Not sure if I got anything else noteworthy. Minis went into my trash pile, and the non baseball stuff will follow soon. Anyway, thanks for the look.

Grabbed a box at my LCS today. One of my best pulls ever!

The feeling of expecting some fringe player then realize you’ve pulled the best player in the game is amazing. Congrats!!

HeritageKing · 08-13-2021, 07:42 PM

The cuts over the years have been hit or miss, many of them just don't fit in the frame well. A few this year are beautiful,but that Lewis is a little weak on the design.

HeritageKing · 08-13-2021, 07:45 PM

Another thing great about ginter is you can pull a card like that Trout and it could instantly become the center of your PC.
