The official 2010 Allen & Ginter thread (a few more pics added 2/19/10)

Looks like some sneak preview pictures have surfaced. Slightly different design - enough to excite collectors, or does it really matter what A&G looks like as long as new & interesting subsets & autos are provided?

    Sorry, but when I see cards like "Monsters of the Mesazoic", it gives me the picture of a bunch of suits sitting around a conference table laughing and saying "See!! See!!! They'll buy ANYTHING!!! What can we feature next?? Pretty rocks throughout history???"

    oops! I'm sorry! I've got my settings to show 100 threads & posts at a time, and I searched the first five or so pages of threads and figured one hadn't been created yet. If you want, I can edit this title, and you can post the pics in yours.

    I just hope the autos have a better checklist this year. The autograph of the special olympics bowler and the sheep-shearing champion just weren't doing it for me last year.

  • Tony Hawk autos a nice start. I hope they add a ufc fighter or 10.
  • A&G gets uglier every year. I wish they would have continued the original 2006 design.
  • Looks like this is the font they were aiming for.

    Nice preview picks TNZ. Hey guys, if its not too much of an annoyance, I'm going to post my "still need" list from the A&G autos from 2009.

    Still need (autos only) -Brian Berg, Billy The Marlin, Cat Osterman, Clyde Parris, David Wright, Frank Evans, Iris Kyle, Jeff Francouer, Jose Reyes, Jason Werth, Lynne Cox, Lashawn Merritt, Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Howard, Ryan Church, Robbie Maddison, Shani Davis, Walter Eller, Will Simpson, and Yuto Miyazawa.

    Extras (autos only)- Alexi Casilla, Cameron Maybin, Dominique Wilkins (I have an extra red), Burke Kenny, Jack Cust, John Higby, Josh Johnson, Juan Rivera, Matt Kemp, Max Scherzer, Scott Olson, Troy Tulowitski.

    Would love to make another dent in this set if anyone has extra autos left from 2009... I'll bet there are a few who started the set, then gave up and maybe have a dozen or so laying around. Thanks.

    Not much they can do to change it after these past few years without getting too far away from the original A&G.

    someone needs to post a pic of that Howard bat knob/ Pujols Letterman dual booklet. THAT would be a nice pull.

    If anyone wants to go in on a case, let me know. There are a few on Ebay for $799. I could take 1/3 or 1/2 of the 12 boxes.
