Griffey in a Reds jersey? What year is this?

Bhenry4 · 01-23-2015, 03:33 PM

Who doesn't love Ginter, design doesn't seem to be that much different than the past couple of years. Haha, on the Posey nameplate...POS.

petesahuttt · 01-23-2015, 03:37 PM

No photo's of the mini parallels yet, really really hope they use solid colored borders again

I don't. I did in its first few years, but got tired of the same look every year, and hate the non player cards, esp when its a nature or geographical scene. My me card one year was some piece of something from some ice skater I have never heard of, that was my last straw. I still think the base card is a nice looking product, but if you see it one year you have seen it all years IMO.

cardinalfan13 · 01-23-2015, 03:41 PM

Looks good to me

Well, I lost about 2K in 2013. I blew about $300 last year. This year, only singles. Some of my favorite PC's are my unripped Rips and mini framed autos.

I second this. I used to buy the complete set of Allen & Ginter but the non-baseball cards are just a waste. I only buy the Yankee team set now and put the money I save to better sets.

It's an A&G 10th Anniversary card.

You see that 2007 on the card?

tmoore_25 · 01-23-2015, 04:21 PM

I love all years of A&G. Will try to buy a case this year. Only complaint is that I wish they would change the design to make it look more vintage instead of modern. That is what they did in 2006 and I believe that the intent of the set is to mimic the original. I will still put together the base, mini regular back, regular subsets and mini subsets. I guess I need to hurry up and get the last few cards I need from this year.

This.

I'll buy probably no more than 2 blasters at most this year. Buying singles this past year was far better than busting boxes and cases of this. 2013 with the hidden cards are still the boxes for me with A&G

kyle1707 · 01-23-2015, 05:16 PM

My favorite product...

I look forward to making the set and mini set every year...

But I am getting tired of the lack of autos ... should be 12-16 a case instead of half that..

Or a case hit auto like finest... All the plain jersey cards are just boring... Which you seem to get 30 a case...

BoxBreaker72 · 01-23-2015, 05:24 PM

Looks the same to me. It's kind of getting a little stale imo. Change the design a bit or something.

exitmusicblue · 01-23-2015, 07:37 PM

No doubt will get a couple boxes and some packs here and there. Favorite product, better hits than any other for me thus far. The non-athlete cards personally are more fun/interesting than pulling base of scrub players I don't even know from other products.

Jmort23 · 01-23-2015, 08:11 PM

R. Castillo auto shown may be a nice chase card for some. However the overall design will probably never change that dramatically.
I'm hoping for a Tupac/Biggie cut auto card in 2015! Better than a Snoop Lion all day!

hairysasquatch · 01-23-2015, 08:35 PM

Grant will have a card, right??!! Mr. Code breaker!

Was going to say, that card has an older look to it. Haha. Hopefully this will be the year I finally get one of those cabinet namplates.

douglasfir · 01-23-2015, 08:59 PM

Hmmm... A 10th anniversary set should feel a little less stale. A tweak here, repeat.

GreatAlbert · 02-05-2015, 01:42 AM

Will do my normal case and retail when it hits before hobby. Been my favorite set for years and almost have the base minis done from each year.

How have cases treated you in the past? I'm debating getting one this year but haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger.

BestRCs · 02-05-2015, 11:44 AM

They better load up the non baseball autographs in this release. Last year was bad.

I'm hoping they were saving up for this 10th anniversary release.

pnft17 · 02-05-2015, 11:59 AM

Should be fun again. I hope they get a rock and country star legend or two. Would love to see Billichick auto in it or Malcom Butler with SB pick. Like they did with Brees and his kid card.

2014 was bad, and I have heard Topps is having issues getting big signers again this year.

Hollywood42 · 02-05-2015, 12:17 PM

I've historically only done okay on Ginter. I've gotten between 1-3 hobby boxes each year since 2010, but I've been buying blasters since '08 I think. I miss when they guaranteed an auto or relic in Ginter blasters. I've never hit anything huge from a hobby box, but I did get a rip card once, so that was fun! Ginter doesn't seem like a product to me where you can make a lot of money (there are, however, a few monster cards in there tho, like the Cabinet jumbo relics with the jersey nameplates- Sick!), but it is definitely one of the most fun products to open every year. I'll definitely continue my streak of buying a hobby box in the summer.

Mstepper · 02-05-2015, 12:21 PM

I don't care if it's a buyback or anything of that nature. They need to just quit at this point. I don't see a significant difference this year or the last 3
