Man Dave, we needed the same numbers.....whats the chance of that..I just now knocked 176 and 326 off my list. How is it tha I have pulled 7 #336's but none of the other ones? Oh well..If I buy more this weekend Ill let you know if I get any you need.
I've had a lot of interest in my boxes of A&G so I'm going to postpone listing them on the bay to hopefully scratch some of you guys on the boards itch. Most of you have asked for pricing so here is what I'm quoting:
1 for $85 2 for $162 3 for $240 4 for $310 5+ Ask
All prices are delivered.
Also some people have asked where these 12 boxes came from - fresh case, etc. I basically went around Edmond, OK and bought up the remaining inventory from the 2 local shops. I get home, and my wife is pretty irritated since I had already busted a case of the stuff. So here we go, reselling the freshly purchased boxes. PM me if you would like to purchase them.

Cut autos found - Thomas Nast, J. Edgar Hoover, King George III, and Walter Winchell.
Cut autos still not found (in public anyway) - Arthur Conan Doyle, Frederick Pabst, John Glenn, Thurgood Marshall, Buffalo Bill, John Paul Getty, Eddie Rickenbacker, Henry Kissinger, Daniel Webster, Norman Schwarzkopf, Edgar Rice Burroughs, John D. Rockefeller, Boss Tweed, Jack London, Adolph Coors, and Oliver Wolcott.
To me, this is pretty late in the A&G season to only have seen 4 cut autos surface.
It is probably safe to assume that 1-2 cuts were found but never posted on the internet. I heard there is also a cut in Greg's boxes, so there is 3 right there.

Were you really expecting unopened wax to last a long time around here?
Because assuming just as much ripping has occurred as was at this point in last season, maybe there is just an over abundance of unripped product as compaired to last year.
If the odds are the same, it wouldn't matter. If not, there's more to the story.
Last year was wayyy overproduced. Of course the Washington cards didn't show up until very late. It's scary to think how much of this stuff has been ripped.
<< <i>The code has been cracked. The call to action was to send in the Team orange cards that did not have mustaches or mustaches. It was one of those. >>
A Google search found this:
****Spoiler for Ginter Code****
Here is the order the cards go: 11, 3, 12, 15, 4, 18, 7, 6, 19, 2, 20, 14, 8, 17, 9, 13, 5, 10, 1, 16
I figured this out because if you look at the back, the first word and the last word almost all match the next card. On card #11 it has a line on the bottom above the code letters/numbers instead of an arrow like on top under the code letters/numbers, card #16 is vice versa, all the rest have arrows on the top and bottom so I figured one of these is the first card and the last card.
Example - on the first card #11, the last word in the paragraph is Today, the next card is #3, the first word in that paragraph is Today, the last word in the paragraph on #3 is World, the next card #12, the first word in the paragraph is World, the last word in the paragraph on #12 is Year, the next card #15, the first word in the paragraph is Year.
This happens all the way down to card #5, on card #5, the last word does not match the next, card #10 but the last word Enough in the paragraph on card #10 matches the first word in the paragraph on card #1.
Line all the cards up in 1 row and write down all the letters/numbers from the top starting with card #11, write them from left to right, it should look like this:
A I N 3 P F G Q N T S B R E I E T Q N F H A P 5 L N C V Z N F X I E J R 8 D G S D A L K 6 M J D U R H T B E N A O P E F S C T O R E H D T E 2 G I L D A C M X K D H Y R U A T C D P O E J F M D O D H G 3 4 E R N J 2 I S O P E G 8 B Z R A P A P K F 1 T H I T D E A N C M M B F Y N Q O S A G E 7 S F H J T R Y C S G G L D F N E W R E S K S L E O B Z Q T Y E M O F T R I B N U 5 W P K L D N I N H 9 S Y W T E Q Z G D S U O S 5 E P G W T 8 H Y S
Do this for the bottom EXCEPT write them backwards starting with cards #16 and write all the letters/numbers from right to left, it should look like this:
D J U T H T H G D B S P O L W A L Y H G T R N B A M L K R R W 6 T 1 2 W L N S M 3 R F H M U Y H T W 6 B E E D A S P V W L Y 1 N R T C A V 7 N W U T H F 5 E W N T C B D U J R K W A L 4 I F H N W B V C K M A Y T Q R 3 G F S D T C H Y W I E T H B D O B W H A L P H S Q M P L D H 2 U T C N W A B S V 7 U Q T W H K A B N S 6 G F H H T P O S A M Q H D 6 T E J P O Q O E N C A Y R 9 2 Y E H X K S H Z V E B N E 7 Y W Q P E 6 S C J E H T 8 E K J A
Deciphering the code. Starting with the top letters/numbers, start at letter A, now with the cards in order, 11, 3, 12, 15, 4, etc. Start with card #11, go over 11 letters/numbers and you have the letter S,. Next card is #3, go over 3 letters/numbers from S and you have the letter E. Next card is #12, go over 12 letters/numbers and you have the letter N. Do this all the way to the last card, #16. Your answer for the top should be “SEND 6 TEAM ORANGE MINIS”
Now with the bottom, you have to go backwards, do everything in reverse. Go backwards starting with 16, 1, 10, 5, 13, etc. Start at letter D, now with the cards going backwards go over 16 letters/numbers and you have the letter A. Next card is #1, go over 1 letter/number from A and you have L. Next card is #10, go over 10 letters/numbers and you have the letter L. Do this all the way up to the first card, #11.
Your answer for the bottom should be “ALL 6 MEN WITH MUSTACHES”
The answer is “SEND 6 TEAM ORANGE MINIS, ALL 6 MEN WITH MUSTACHES”
This relates to the 10 Team Orange Mini that are inserts and only 6 of the men have mustaches. You had to send in all 6 Team Orange minis men with mustaches.
I had all 6 cards and sent them into Topps and they received my certified letter with my answer and cards on 8/7/08.

Am about to open a walmart blaster box of 2008 A&G. It has 7 packs plus one special pack. It cost 19.99, so am expecting a $500.00 card. I would like to get a cool card in this box in order to be able to post friendly on this website. If i don't get anything good in this box, I may freak and actually vote democrat in the election. That would be the end all be all lowest move I could make. .
what is with these lame thick cards that don't serve a purpose.. oh man.. it psyched me for a minute.. though thick cards were good nowadays. suckage. sports cards suck.
holy crap... second pack actually has a mark spitz and a wild bill hickok card in it.. what the.. who the.. what the heck is this allen and ginter stuff.. though i bought a box of baseball cards.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a Serena Williams card. dear lordie... strike me down..................
Please.. kill me now... in the 2nd to last pack.. there is a 'billy mitchell' card. He 'attained a perfect score in.. in.. Pacman'..
this is not a joke. Why.. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
TOPPS has suckered me in to the suckness. This suckness far exceeds anything that has sucked before.
A Pacman card. Not only a Pacman card, but a 'drawing of the champ'.. the drawing includes the champ's thumb's up sign... and the champ is wearing a USA flag tie.
Thanks for the laugh! It was a long day and i needed that!

I opened a few blasters and updated my trade page in my sigline.
Just wondering, and help me out here, why would anyone buy retail when the odds are so better to buy hobby AND you have odds of getting a RIP card with hobby? I bought a retail blaster and did not get anything worth mentioning and I noticed the odds and vowed not to buy retail anymore unless someone here can convince me otherwise.
I NEED: Baseball ICONS: 4-6 Ancient ICONS: 8-16-19
Simply put, it's a cheaper way to complete the set. Money-wise, per pack you're going to fare better using retail for your SP and mini needs. $3/pack vs $5-$7/pack.
BUT, when it comes to getting hits: relics, autos, rips, silks, etc; hobby is the way to go if you want to focus on those.
I like to get a set going, so I prefer retail.
But if I wanted some rip cards and more pulls, I'd be all over hobby.
I reckon about 140 of each. 100 rip cards, average print run 75 = 7500 total rip cards. Subtract 300 red ink autos (30 diff with print run 10) and woods (400) although some come loose in retail and you get around 7000 total ext minis. 7000/50 ext minis = 140. My best guess.
RE: rip cards how do you get them? hobby boxes? i've only cracked two hobby boxes. in 1 i had a greatest victory n43 pack. in the other was a smaller player card (r. howard). is a rip pack another "box insert"?
also, i finally completed a base card set (1-350) with SPs. is anyone here interested? i'm still trying to put together the baseball icons set and have started to sell in order to buy since no one seems to have any left to trade!
After an entire day filled with job interviews, I got to kill last night attending what'll probably be our last Lansing Lugnuts game of the season. The Luggies lost to the Dayton Dragons 6-3, but who cares: I got to spend 3 hours in a breezy ballpark close to the action.
Anyway, today, I still have no job and no chance of the Mariners making the playoffs, but I do still have some 2008 Allen & Ginter to trade!
NEEDS World's Icons (aka Ancient Icons): 1, 5, 6, 13, 14, 19, 20 Baseball Icons: 2, 7, 10, 11, 13, 17 Team Orange: All except #4
Definitely willing to trade lopsided to bring some of those icons home. Have a zillion normal base cards too--just ask.
Also have a bunch of flag cards from last year's set, about 25 assorted, and some black borders (11, 12, 71, 136, 141, 185, 205, 241, 343, 347)... if anyone's still looking for those.

what the heck did I buy.
this is not a joke. Why.. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
TOPPS has suckered me in to the suckness. This suckness far exceeds anything that has sucked before.
A Pacman card. Not only a Pacman card, but a 'drawing of the champ'.. the drawing includes the champ's thumb's up sign... and the champ is wearing a USA flag tie.
I got one more pack to open.
The A & G coolness.. is now gone forever.

<< <i>had to share this 4 box hobby break. here are the hits. not bad for 4 boxes.
That is like the best 4 boxes I have ever seen. I got 1 rip card, no bazookas and 3 NNOs in 2 cases! No fair
Simply put, it's a cheaper way to complete the set. Money-wise, per pack you're going to fare better using retail for your SP and mini needs. $3/pack vs $5-$7/pack.
BUT, when it comes to getting hits: relics, autos, rips, silks, etc; hobby is the way to go if you want to focus on those.
I like to get a set going, so I prefer retail.
But if I wanted some rip cards and more pulls, I'd be all over hobby.

how do you get them? hobby boxes? i've only cracked two hobby boxes. in 1 i had a greatest victory n43 pack. in the other was a smaller player card (r. howard). is a rip pack another "box insert"?
also, i finally completed a base card set (1-350) with SPs. is anyone here interested? i'm still trying to put together the baseball icons set and have started to sell in order to buy since no one seems to have any left to trade!
open.
Kevin
Anyway, today, I still have no job and no chance of the Mariners making the playoffs, but I do still have some 2008 Allen & Ginter to trade!

Definitely willing to trade lopsided to bring some of those icons home. Have a zillion normal base cards too--just ask.
Also have a bunch of flag cards from last year's set, about 25 assorted, and some black borders (11, 12, 71, 136, 141, 185, 205, 241, 343, 347)... if anyone's still looking for those.
