NEW YORK - A 17-year-old boy who says he has "abnormally fast thumbs" has been named the fastest texter in America for the second year in a row. "It feels incredible," said Austin Wierschke of Rhinelander, Wis., after winning the sixth annual U.S. LG National Texting Competition in Times Square on Wednesday. He gets $50,000 in prize money, which he says he will put away for college.
Allen & Ginter has a ton of non-sports related inserts. The product, as a result, isn't for everyone... but definitely has a cult following in the hobby.

Question is, will it be worth one-tenth that amount four months from now?

You never know with rare ginters...depends on who is in the market at that point. For instance I've seen the 1/10 employee auto cards sell for $10, and also sell for hundreds. My guess is that raines will have some decent value..if you get the right 2 collectors chasing it....

Thanks for the information. Great looking set and scans.
I was just commenting (joking) on the $5K EBAY card for the Duel Rip Abreu/Raines card. To pay that much and open it to find a Raines Bat Relic 1/1, rolling the dice, would be a disappointment.
So I couldn't see how they would retain their value.
Anyone disgusted picking up the olympic wrestlers? I'd find them a home.

I sold 3 of them and will rip the other 2 in the next few days.
For others, some do, some don't. Player collectors probably keep them unripped. I still have an 07 Dice-K unripped rip card. That was one of the years you could see what's inside with a flashlight and since I bought it on Ebay, I'd always assumed it had been checked. I've honestly never tried the flashlight trick so even though I've had the rip card for 7 years now, I have no clue what's in it. I should just rip it

Yeah you should. It's dice K. What do you have to lose??
Anybody want the free insert and mini I offered from years past.
I picked up 2 hobby boxes at a local shop and was very pleasantly surprised. Both boxes had a bonus "hit" in addition to the three guaranteed.
Box 1 contained the Car-Go framed mini bat relic, Allen Craig bat relic, Tanner Foust 1 color cloth relic and Zack Greinke framed mini printing plate (yellow).
Box 2 was a monster. The very first pack contained the Hank Aaron bat relic. Grant Balfour 1 color cloth relic and Chuck Zito 3 color cloth relic rounded out the guaranteed hits. As a bonus, I hit the Miss USA 1/1 wood mini. I was under the impression that the wood minis were only available through rip cards, but this one was inserted normally in a pack.
This stuff is a blast to rip. You never know what you're going to see next.
Sorry about the quality here. Low light cell phone shot...
I did 1 box. Got a Dusty Baker AG mini no number, David Price gu, Elvis Andrus framed gu, Mike Pereira ref worn, and Reggie jackson silk /10. I'm happy with my box. Got a great card from my team (Mr. October silk)

Cool - nice to see some other people ripping. Felt like I was just talking to myself for most of the thread:
I think this is the first year I haven't pulled any wood - and yes they can be in packs too. Most of mine have come that way. Not sure if I ever got one in a rip card
Got one more box to try and come up with some red ink and/or wood. Probably rip it tomorrow night
I purchased a Don Mattingly base card a few days ago.

When I first saw the picture of your cat w/ the wrappers, I thought they were empty bags of catnip that he or she had just relieved the contents of, hence his or her relaxed position. Our cat can rip open the Temp. Treats bag to get to the booty. Now just have to train him to rip open my packs.

SOS to the Ginter guys. I need 2 copies of 2008 A&G US insert #49 Pat Neshek. One to replace the copy in my set, which is now mashed, and one for TTM. Can anybody help me out? Willing to buy or trade

I bought two, ripped one open, got a Tim Raines bat relic, the plus side it was 1/1.
Question is, will it be worth one-tenth that amount four months from now?
Seriously though, this stuff looks fun, is the hobby box expensive?

I just meant no one else really ripping much this year. The past year's threads were huge and lots of ripping, scans and trading.
So I have opened 14 + boxes this year. Case, 2 boxes and some packs. I fgot 1 rip card. Maddux/Glavine dual.
Mike opened 4 more boxes than me and got 4 more rip cards. D'Oh.
First time I've seen a full size Ginter autograph - still getting surprised after 20 boxes
Starting up where I left off - Here are the first 2 boxes
The Trouts came from the same box
My Sandberg topps basic set
My Sandberg Topps Master set
Boxes 4 and 5 kind of dudlish
1 more today and probably rip the rest tomorrow
