Haha, good advice. I have to carry around so much crap that my company expects fees such as that, and with the way airlines are today, I'm always having to pay that extra baggage fee.

Yeah, I'll just send both the rip and the ripped in and see what I get - no big deal. Only took them 2 weeks or so to replace the minis I was missing from a box.
Mr. Zep, I think from now on I'm just gonna buy the hobby boxes and mail em to you to open up for me , you seem to have some incredible luck with the cards . . .
I think it was you who has that really nice display of the tripple threads too ??
Heh, I was just on eBay tonight bidding on low-end autos ... no big whoop really, only trying to add something interesting to my binder that will contain the full base set... kept getting outbid by "mybudjoe" and his snipe service (private feedback and all).
Fine... I know what I'm gonna pay, and if I get outbid, it's no biggie...
But I gotta admit, after being outbid by him three times, I deliberately bid on another A&G auto just so he'd have to pay more. Don't worry, I fully intended to pay if I had won. I didn't though. Enjoy that extra $4, seller!
Yeah... A&G makes me silly...
So, that was my night, enjoying a nice roast pork dinner, watching the Cubs vs Diamondbacks on WGN, and being outbid by my favorite bud, Joe.
My store as not restocked any blaster yet. Anyone have any ideas on how fast Targets usually get reloaded with our addiction? Well to satisfy the addiction I picked up Papelbon auto and a Wily Mo auto(06) on the bay.
I have already seen the 2nd and perhaps final wave of A&G blasters, unlike say base brand topps, A&G has a more limited print run, so don't expect much more, however some targets are better than others. If you are seeing full shelves with a big hole in it, chances are someone already scooped them up. If you are still seeing older stuff, and I don't mean 1983, but stuff like heritage and series 2 topps around, then there is a good chance your store hasn't gotten it out yet. My target got in 10 blasters, I believed this to be the second wave after the first sold very well. That is how it runs...if it goes quick, they are usually quick to restock. The key is finding when they put out the new stock. Look for the big boxes with the yellow tape on them, these are the blaster boxes. They usually have them up front, sometimes near the cards. If you aren't bold enough to attack the boxes yourself (a quick slice using your car keep slits the tape), then you should check the next morning becuase that is when they will most likely be stocked.
Football is in full force now at target, A&G is really the only baseball. If you are seeing boxes and boxes of threads football and topps football, then chances are you have missed out on A&G. Ill keep you posted if there is a 3rd wave!
I hear you about an EBay nemisis. I have butted up against 1clarkfan too many times to count both this year and the last (board member?). If he is on these boards, I don't mean to spike the prices, but we seem to be interested in the same things (Tom, I was beginning to think it was you), i.e. Bazookas and no numbers.

1clarkfan won a bunch of my bazooka and no numbers. He never left feedback for any of them either
My store hasn't had any blasters since I purchased the last 3. The other Target in town never had any every time I've looked. Both have 3 or 4 overly searched retail boxes out. But I know people have gone through them. I purchase them in the hope of getting a mini card I need because if there was a relic or auto, it's long gone. It erks me to see pack searchers. I always grab packs from the middle of the box, just reach under and snag, it's a habit from childhood. But I've actually seen people with digital scales, weighing each pack. I've seen people thumbing cards, potentially ruining them form whatever sucker buys the pack.
Thanks to many great trades my base set is complete(thx Kevin) and my mini set is down 53(thx pakerj). I have listed the remaining minis and have alot of base cards and would add to the ratio if trading minis for base. 2007 Allen & Ginter Trade Page

Here's what I've been using, it seems pretty common: 1 Mini = 2 Regular 1 Regular SP = 3 Minis 1 Mini SP = 3 Minis 1 A&G Mini = 2 Minis 1 A&G Mini SP = 6 Minis 1 Black Mini = 4 Minis 1 Black Mini SP = 10 Minis 1 ARod = 4 Minis Relics / Autos / Bazookas / NNOs vary much more by player

Count me among the many who have been thwarted by 1clarkfan, his first name is Ralph. Thats all i know, he once responded to an ebay message query. Seemed nice enough.
I agree with and use gstarlings trade ratios - beckett be damned.
I wasn't saying he's a bad guy, just never left any feedback. I think he won 5 or 6 minis from me. He always pays right away and that's the most important part to me
<< <i>I am 1 card short of a complete base set (w/SPs) that can be available for trade as well. I have been "away" from focusing on this thread so I'll dig through the posts today and look for some trades.

LMK if you don't wind up working that remaining card into a trade, if you want to pay for shipping I can send you the card for free!
Ok, went to Target again today, I'm having trouble waiting on my shipment, they had a fairly new looking box of retail, I purchased the remaining 20 packs. Pretty good stuff.
3 Black Minis 4 A&G Backs (including Matsuzaka) 2 Flags 1 Upton NNO Mini 2 ARods 2 Relics (Konerko Bat & Mulder Jersey 10 Perez Sketches (no dups, needed all 10, even if it isn't a great set)
Haven't gone through to find short prints yet, but I did see the Mantle, Ripper, and Ground Hog Day finally. Still no Frank Thomas. I'm disappointed about that. I've officially opened 56 packs. I've pulled one SP auto and 3 relics, 6 flags, 1 emperor, 6 ARods, something like 14 A&G backs, 1 NNO, and 7 Blacks Minis. I'm going to start putting my base set together tonight. I have the 15 pocket pages on the way from Columbia Sports Card. Can't wait.
i checked the pillow section today and did not find anything. i've never hidden anything there so i am not exactly sure if i was looking in the right place.
joestalin... thanks for the offer of the 303 card! we'll hold off a bit and see if i get one in a trade. it's for an extra set so i'm in no huge rush.

A&G is all but dried up here. They even took down the just arrived signs above the trading card section at one target and replaced it with some coming soon football stuff. I bought the wife and kids tickets to the Reds day game so I would have some time to open some A&G. I went to 2 targets, 1 walmart and a meijer. You guessed it nothing. 2007 Allen & Ginter Trade Page

joestalin -- you bought TWO blasters from Target and didn't get any major pulls?
Wow... you totally BEAT THE ODDS (not in the good way, but still...).
You sure an employee didn't spot them and swap them with blasters from Walmart? Everybody's pulling great stuff outta Target blasters. Heck, my only "decent" pull came from a Target blaster.
Bro, I can assure you that for every great blaster you have seen or opened, Ive opened 5 that sucked big time. Not that the hobby boxes were that much better, but dang cmon topps!
Kevin, I'm right there with you, if I hadn't seen some of the guys on here with decent pulls I'd sweat Topps didn't put any of the inserts in retail. Here is my updated list, I am done with the regular mini set and only 20 away from the A&G back mini set, if you have some I need but don't see anything you need from my list let me know and I will paypal you some $ for them.

I just joined the board, I read through a majority of this thread the other day but haven't searched back through for the individual need lists. I'll post what I have and what I need. If you see anything you need let me know. I have opened up 6 Target boxes and a few Hobby packs from my local card shop. The only good things I pulled came from Target. Does anyone know approximately what the White no # minis are going for? I've pulled a Maddux and a Sosa.
At this point I am just trying to complete the regular base set with SP's. I still need:
I haven't opened any yet because I can't blow the money right now I'm sticking to Heritage. With that said, I have my boxes (or cases) up on Ebay if anyone is interested. If I have some left I might open them but then I'm sure to get into ripping fever again! (Shamelss plug here) my ID is bigred.unl if anyone is interested. Sorry I haven't been around lately! Extremely busy during the fall and winter. Hope everyone is having fun with the A&G!

Is it just me or does that GW window look bad? Maybe its the scanner, but that looks awful. A dark piece of hair against a dark mat? Yikes.. Im saying 21,000.
Myself, I'd have either donated it to a museum or, at the least, sent it off to Beckett or PSA to slab first.
What I wanna know is, can PayPal handle transfers of $20,000+?! Just thinking about what eBay/Paypal's final cut will be makes me convulse...
Also, notice the card is AGR-GW2... someone should ask Topps if that's the one in hobby, or in retail. Assuming hobby gets priority numbering, that takes care of retail's biggest pull.

I also have black border minis to trade for cards on my needed list above.
What's the general trading etiquette? Are 2 A&G backs worth a black border, etc? Or just trade whatever you can?
Also, any particular way that packing/shipping is expected?
Thanks!

Here's what I've been using, it seems pretty common:
1 Mini = 2 Regular
1 Regular SP = 3 Minis
1 Mini SP = 3 Minis
1 A&G Mini = 2 Minis
1 A&G Mini SP = 6 Minis
1 Black Mini = 4 Minis
1 Black Mini SP = 10 Minis
1 ARod = 4 Minis
Relics / Autos / Bazookas / NNOs vary much more by player
<< <i>Also, any particular way that packing/shipping is expected? >>
Everything I've received from board members has been packages very well. Bubble mailers, etc.

3 Black Minis
4 A&G Backs (including Matsuzaka)
2 Flags
1 Upton NNO Mini
2 ARods
2 Relics (Konerko Bat & Mulder Jersey
10 Perez Sketches (no dups, needed all 10, even if it isn't a great set)
Haven't gone through to find short prints yet, but I did see the Mantle, Ripper, and Ground Hog Day finally. Still no Frank Thomas. I'm disappointed about that. I've officially opened 56 packs. I've pulled one SP auto and 3 relics, 6 flags, 1 emperor, 6 ARods, something like 14 A&G backs, 1 NNO, and 7 Blacks Minis. I'm going to start putting my base set together tonight. I have the 15 pocket pages on the way from Columbia Sports Card. Can't wait.
1 Flag
1 Emperor (one I needed!!!)
2 Black minis
3 A&G minis
3 SP minis
0 Hits (duh)
Overall unimpressed. The box is hard in my pillowcase.

joestalin... thanks for the offer of the 303 card! we'll hold off a bit and see if i get one in a trade. it's for an extra set so i'm in no huge rush.

Wow... you totally BEAT THE ODDS (not in the good way, but still...).
You sure an employee didn't spot them and swap them with blasters from Walmart? Everybody's pulling great stuff outta Target blasters. Heck, my only "decent" pull came from a Target blaster.
You may want to buy a lottery ticket.

I haven't opened any yet because I can't blow the money right now I'm sticking to Heritage. With that said, I have my boxes (or cases) up on Ebay if anyone is interested. If I have some left I might open them but then I'm sure to get into ripping fever again! (Shamelss plug here) my ID is bigred.unl if anyone is interested. Sorry I haven't been around lately! Extremely busy during the fall and winter. Hope everyone is having fun with the A&G!

The man who started it all! I wish I had some dough to buy your boxes...you won't take heritage as payment will you? LOL Good Luck
on it, if you need anything let us know!
Is it just me or does that GW window look bad? Maybe its the scanner, but that looks awful. A dark piece of hair against a dark mat? Yikes..
Im saying 21,000.
Myself, I'd have either donated it to a museum or, at the least, sent it off to Beckett or PSA to slab first.
What I wanna know is, can PayPal handle transfers of $20,000+?! Just thinking about what eBay/Paypal's final cut will be makes me convulse...
Also, notice the card is AGR-GW2... someone should ask Topps if that's the one in hobby, or in retail. Assuming hobby gets priority numbering, that takes care of retail's biggest pull.
