I wish they would keep them simple like the original.

One of the worst fights my wife and I ever got into was if Steak-Ums are an acceptable food for adults.*

So yea, fun set.

*they are

We were debating this yesterday and decided that Ginter should include a hot dog in this set, but as a SSP. Like the SSP shark card from last year, only this time they remember to put it in the packs.

Looking at the base design, I like to think that Topps recognizes they're going to print many of them off-center and thus, decided to make a base design that already looks off-center.

I just don't think these recent sets hold a candle to the earlier ones in that regard, and obviously that's completely subjective.

Your mistake was choosing one of the greatest ginter sets ever to collect. 2012 was loaded. Do you have website or list of what you need?

trogdor · 03-04-2022, 01:55 PM

Base looks really ugly but who knows

Here are my framed blue ink auto needs, with the three gu relics listed at the bottom. I'm building a master set of the base, inserts and mini variations, as well. Also looking for any 1/1 artist originals minis and unripped rip cards.

No deal too small, PWE all the way if the other party is down with it (for the cheaper cards obviously).

Clever. Was thinking more along the lines of a roast beef sandwich though.

Seriously....is there a single person who can tell the difference between a 2009 A&G card and a 2019 A&G card without looking at the back?

I’m gonna go ahead and say… yes.

Maybe pick another two random years and see if you get a better result.

Anyone else realize they are using the “panini” phrase about the amount of hits per hobby box

It’s always been advertised as 3 per Box… even though a lot of times they get it wrong ( last case I had 2 boxes with 4 hits and 2 with 2 (terrible pack out))

Now they are saying 3 on average…

Wonder if they are doing this to avoid mailing out missing hits

Broke down and bought a case from Blowout but was surprised at the price increase from last year. That all due to Wandermania??

dodgerfanjohn · 04-16-2022, 03:03 PM

Pretty healthy price drop. BO has them for $1450/case now after the discount code.

Can find it under $1400 if you look a bit. Only 10% down too.

I’m liking the design this year, but I’m really interested in seeing the RIP card designs. I should post within the Allen & Ginter appreciation thread on what is your favorite Year RIP card design.

There's no reason for A&G to cost so much. I miss the days when a 12 box case would cost about $1,000 shipped
