<< <i>Guru, what are you still doing at home, I'd already be on my way to pick up a few boxes. For those of you that wondered about when Blowout will be shipping, Chris from Blowout told me the cases would be shipping out tomorrow and tracking numbers would be available later in the day. >>
The shop near my office has hobby boxes for $75. I am tempted.
Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason. Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason. My Pirates Collection
I would be very pleased if that was my first 8 boxes. Early reports so far indicate more value in this years boxes than last. I hope the boards can keep up that momentum.
Arch- If you are even thinking about A&G, THAT price is a keeper! Worst case you open it, hate it and trade it all to me for heritage! LOL
blasters, are retail boxes with usually 8 packs in them...you benifit in price because one of the packs are free. Target, TRU and Wal Mart are your best bet. Its never too early to start the search. If you buy a bunch at target early chances are they will replenish soon, so check back. Usually all retail stores are done on one day, so if you hit gold, probably all the stores have them in.
me too, what state you in ?mine was 955 for a case, looked again and they were over 1050$ now i think our one card shop just close because the pr ick owner mouthed somebody off and he kinda got his head thumped in the mall and they kicked the whole store out lol( no i didnt do it), ive been good for 3 months now, a new personal record for me
i like the marcus one,they should do some hendix/mmorrison like people ones instead of stupid cards of the brooklyn bridge and a groundhog type stuff- i doubt if anyone would sell em one of jimi's outfits to cut up though
This product gets more exciting and more exciting. Hoping to pick up a couple of boxes today to tide me over until my orders come through. Crossing fingers that my local dealer has the 'stuff.'
My local shop says he is expecting part of his stock today as it shipped yesterday from the local distributor. Planning to pick up a couple boxes to hold me over until my online order shows up.
My shop actually told me that he didn't think they were getting any in. I'm really hoping that guy was just an idiot. Otherwise I will have to find a new shop.

If my local guy gets some in before my case shows I might need to do the same. Idle hands are the devils tools.
I woke up in the early morning, checked the A&G thread and saw the images Geordie had posted...when I finally fell back asleep I had a dream I walked into my local shop, and purchased only 4 packs.
I only opened 2 of them before I woke, but in the first I pulled a complete mini set that isn't even being produced, as well as some other cards. These included new mini parallels that were completely square and each card came with its own penny sleeve in the pack.
In pack #2 I pulled a platinum Tiffany's & Co. ID bracelet worn by General George Patton.
I updated the Google Doc today. I added some card #'s, included more of the cards for the insert sets, added the Pioneers of Aviation, World Greatest Victories and Team Orange insert sets, and I added an image for the World's Deadliest Sharks Subset.
Anyone else want access to be a editor of this? It would greatly help to have more than just myself and two others! Bill
kshorton says: i gots an Empire State Building card... seeking advice.. is this better and worth more than my psa 3 franco harris 1973 topps card which i defouled by trying to make a baby with ? Please advise. the franco card is graded.. the ESB card is not yet, and I do not want to have a baby with the ESB card.
<< <i>I'm trolling the Bay right now. This is pretty cool: >>
I think this would be a cool one to get kids involved since the picks were used while making the Gituar Hero Video game series. I belive there are only 100 produced.
I may have missed it a few pages back, but what do we know about the pull rates on the various subsets?
Specifically:
States (1 insert per pack - full size) Ancient Icons (20 cards) (are these mini only?) Baseball Icons (17 cards) (are these mini only?) Leaders of the world ( xx cards, minis?) Great Battles ( xx cards, minis ?)
<< <i>delaers here in MA are saying tomorrow, also heard bad dealings with Blowout/dealernet recently. Could be a one time thing though >>
This has me slightly worried. Can you elaborate on this comment? I've ordered a case from Blowout and I really don't like the thought of being out that much money.

That was hilarious. I had my only A&G dream (so far) a couple nights back...it was very vague though.
I ordered my boxes through a hobby dealer online, so looks like I'll miss the initial boat as mine are probably arriving on friday. =(
What's up everybody... I've been gone from the PSA forums for months and months and months (a little after I finished 2007 Allen & Ginter, it really is my only card passion these days).
What have I missed?! 9.5 grades?! What?!
Just ordered a hobby box of 2008 A&G from TheCardKid... I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait. Seriously, I feel like that little kid that LOVES candy and has to stare at all the candy in the store the whole time his mom is shopping, and FINALLY he gets candy.
CANDY!!
Sadly, I'm job hunting, so my budget this year for A&G is pathetic... but I've still gotta have some. So, a hobby box this week, and a few blasters later... and lots of trades here (I hope!). I'M FEELING THE CRAVE!!
Guru, nam812, parkerj, BunchOBull... I'm so glad to see so many familiar names from last year's most awesome trade thread!!
I'm literally shaking with the anticipation of cracking some packs.
Nick (nam812) just called me and said his case from blowout arrived today but the UPS guy just left a notice, he is on his way to the UPS center to pick it up, he said the ripping will start around 10:30 est. Maybe this means more of us will start seeing our A&G cases soon.
Sounds like my local dealer will get his cases tomorrow through UPS and I contacted blowout and my case should be here tomorrow, hope UPS is open late,
Any of you guys see the group breaks for Ginter on Youtube ? Am I missing something, or is this a ridiculously bad idea for collectors to buy. I mean, $30-35 for a team, non baseball cards get randomly distributed....
I'm back at home with an A&G case from blowout in my possession. The ripping, with a box by box play by play will start in about an hour. The scanner is heating up, and hopefully I will have a need for it.
Just one quick thing. I'm watching the box breaks on You Tube. It's really kinda pissing me off that foreign countries had first dibb's at this product.
