Finally saw and bought one A&G blaster at Walmart - they had about 7 or 8 of them there.

Pulled a "Mantle" card and I'm pretty sure it ain't worth nothing. LOL

Was a fun rip though.

Trinketts · July 24, 2011 3:42AM

I busted 2 cases and have lots of base/minis/sps/inserts to fill sets... Not making sets myself so no trading, but pm me your lists to see if I can help you

zep33 · July 24, 2011 3:52AM

Just busted my best box so far

my first state card (the only one I would have wanted too) and a couple of short printed relic/auto

and the case hit:

08HALA20 · July 24, 2011 5:04AM

I picked up a hobby box today from local card show.

Here are the three hits, otherwise box seemed kinda blah.

Don't think I will be buying anymore.

I wonder what the Hope auto looks like?

MeteoriteGuy · July 24, 2011 6:55AM

Nice case hit zep. I guess those plant cards really work.

kmnorton · July 25, 2011 2:55AM

A nice mailday.

onegaucho · July 25, 2011 8:12AM

so is anyone doing any sets? before i start sorting through, i figured i should know what to look for.

zep33 · July 28, 2011 8:44AM

Against my better judgement (cause I have no judgement), I got another case

good idea so far

From the 1st 4 boxes:

zep33 · July 28, 2011 9:05AM

5 boxes in and I've pulled twice as many autos as my first case

zep33 · July 28, 2011 9:23AM

no ink in 6. probably jinxed myself

zep33 · July 28, 2011 9:59AM

shutout for 7 and 8 - gonna call it a night while I'm still ahead

kmnorton · July 28, 2011 11:19AM

Well done, Mike. That Utley red is huge!

onegaucho · July 28, 2011 11:36AM

havent seen the 'faces' or 'fortunes' mini subsets catalogued anywhere. are those SPs? part of the code solution perhaps? thx for sharing the hits from your breaks!

Trinketts · July 28, 2011 11:48AM

Those Faces can be extreme SPs... In the 3 cases I have busted only seen 2. Gotten more RIP cards than Faces.

Also only hit 2 seed cards as well.

I can't believe how cheap they are on the Bay

Walt · July 28, 2011 12:12PM

Everything is cheap this year on ebay for ginter. I haven't figured it out yet, but no one is paying big money for cards anymore. Too bad.

Walt · July 29, 2011 8:42AM

I GOT WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zep33 · July 29, 2011 7:13PM

well?

zep33 · July 29, 2011 9:08PM

saw your other thread - nice pull!!!

zep33 · July 31, 2011 5:59AM

box 12

mcadams · August 3, 2011 1:00PM

Walt · August 7, 2011 9:46AM

I think I might do the regular mini set. I have plenty of black minis, A&G minis and relics for trade. Anyone?

Stooge · August 11, 2011 4:22PM

I would be willing to buy a nice set of the 2011 ginter checklists. They have to be 100% 4 sharp corners ready to grade.

Please let me know!!!!

Paul.

zep33 · August 17, 2011 6:55PM

Against my not so good judgement, I picked up another case. Pretty happy so far

through 7 boxes - actually needed 11 of the 17 relics pulled

zep33 · August 18, 2011 6:52PM

boxes 8 through 11 - 1 more left and still haven't pulled a rip card

fur72 · August 18, 2011 11:40PM

Nice pulls Mike. Now of course if you get a rip card in your last box you have to rip it...

Walt · August 21, 2011 9:26AM

Is no one trading minis this year? Man, rough.

Waalt

TNP777 · March 4, 2012 3:19AM

hey, by chance does anyone have a decent selection of code cards? I need to track down all of the Dodgers.

thanks!

halosfan · March 4, 2012 3:36AM

Now I have to go hunt down the Pacquiao

alnavman · April 24, 2012 11:07AM

Have a 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter mini Penultimacy card of Mike Gellner PP2 and noticed the back of the card is in a weird language, no sense at all, is this normal for this card? thanks

mcadams · June 29, 2012 10:02PM

Take a look at this auction and notice the label that PSA put on this '11 Ginter base card. I don't think A&G produced a "Glossy" subset of Ginter.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-JASON-HEYWARD-ALLEN-GINTER-GLOSSY-335-12-999-PSA-10-GEM-MINT-/380408294643?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item589219ecf3

Toro · June 29, 2012 10:28PM

There was a glossy version released in factorys set form through Topps at the end of the year. Each set was serial numbered along with the individual cards.

mcadams · June 29, 2012 10:30PM

Interesting thanks, I had no idea. Was '11 the first year that A&G released factory sets?

Toro · June 30, 2012 12:59AM

That is correct, it was the first year sold as factory sets and sold on Topps.com for $199 or $299. Limited to 999 serial numbered sets. Many were furious that Topps did this to Ginter set as many built hand collated sets year after year. I suppose it's a change of pace and I hope they do not continue to do it. The last time I recall Topps releasing a glossy set was in 2002.

TNP777 · July 5, 2014 3:37PM

Just busted a couple of retail boxes I forgot I had purchased during a Topps sale a couple years ago. Fun rip, I suppose.

* 6 code parallels
* 1 weird looking clover drawing - apparently these were inserted as a red herring for the codebreakers
* 8 Ascent of Man inserts - really cool looking
* 6 Floating Fortress inserts
* 6 Minds That Made the Future inserts
* 8 Baseball Highlight Sketches inserts
* 2 scrub relics
* 1 Flora of the World seed mini
* 3 Portraits of Penultimatacy minis
* 5 Animals in Peril minis
* 4 World's Most Mysterious Figures minis
* 4 Uninvited Guests minis
* 3 Step Right Up minis
