Checklist?

When does it go live?

Can't wait for the breaker delights to drop.

Always loved this release, wish they would show some of the new 2024 non-baseball hits instead of reposting old ones. Let's build the hype!

are they producing a breakers delight for A&G? Those would be fun.

Chances are probably not but wondering how they will make this breaker-friendly. Probably a lot more rare inserts to chase.

Once again it will be how watered down can the autograph checklist be until people will stop buying it?

When is the last time ginter sold out and then skyrocketed in price like what 2023 platinum just did? Has it ever? It is one of those products that still had a great following and people buy it at release, but then it just usually sits at 100 dollars a box once everyone has moved on.

Last year was actually fun cuzza Wemby autos and his mini parallels.
On a side note, someone remind the flunkies working at Topps the Brooklyn back mini hand numbering goes on the back, not the front of the card.

The non sports stuff not my cup of tea but I will grab my singles of my PC guys. But that Ohtani framed auto is absolutely insane hopefully they do something similar with Yamamoto.

I'm waiting on a Ohtani, Yamamoto, Imanaga triple auto because you know at some point we will get one if not in A&G the maybe Heritage High Number. They would be absolutely stupid not to take advantage of that draw and the craze it would stir with breakers trying to pull one.

Always love Ginter but will have to think of ripping this year. Very small sample size I know but busted 2 cases at release last year at about $2800 cost. Turned that $2800 into about $1500.

Have no idea why 2023 Chrome Platinum Anniversary is going up in price....complete sets are going for $150-200, and the auto checklist is very average. Even the City Variations have been dropping in price.

Not sure what is pushing the price up....heck the Chrome Platinum Anniversary thread on here is so dead it's dropped to page 3-4.....

who are some of those celeb autos? I don't recognize any of those bums

[glassofwater]

Pretty sure we are getting the big 3, Caleb, Daniel’s , and maye autos.

Impractical jokers cast. Won’t command huge money, but is a funny show and I’d buy them. Plenty of people would.

50% return. I'd say you came up with what people are paying for wax. There will be plenty of $500 turn into $50 for 2024 topps chrome.

Those are from 2015 and they sell for more than you think.

They pulled that image from eBay and I've wondered if that auto is legit, as it appears to be in the frame, not the plate itself. If someone has more info please correct me.

Impractical Jokers. They’ve had a cable tv series for over a decade. Even the base cards of them sell for $5-10. The autos sell in the low hundreds.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impractical_Jokers

Same complaints about A&G since the products second year…”I don’t know who these people are”. Depending on posters who don’t know who the auto signors are, I can almost tell who isn’t married and doesn’t have kids. They could toss Ms Rachel or Blippi in there, autos sell on eBay for $100-200 on eBay, and you’d have dinosaurs here barking that they don’t know who those people are(I unfortunately know who they are, wouldn’t want the autos, and would gleefully sell immediately).

Lol there’s someone complaining in the 2013 A&G comments on Cardboard Connection that they got a crap box and only got a Freddie Roach auto in it. El Oh El. Dudes a legendary boxing trainer who has trained 40 boxing world champions and several MMA Champs. His auto card regularly sells in the $60-80 range when it comes up for sale.

It’s not a pack issued auto. But I’m sure Beckett did a ton of homework authenticating his Kanji signature.

Allen & Ginter isn’t for you.

[dodgerfanjohn]

Before posting here that you have no idea who someone on an Allen & Ginter checklist is, please take 10 seconds and type their name in here:

Time to build another A&G set. Hopefully won’t have to buy too many boxes.

[dgiglio47]

Another stale Topps product that has jumped the shark. At least in Gypsy Queen you were guaranteed 2 autographs a box. With Ginter there are so many boxes that have 3 worthless relics and the base set is completely worthless.

The entire Topps product line needs updating outside of a few products. The best and only way to save heritage IMO is to make it a chrome product with 1 autograph guaranteed.

[Enryon]

I will be in for a bunch as always. Ginter is such a fun rip every single year.

I love Allen & Ginter every year, I don't ever remember a worthless base set yet. They tried a chromed version of Ginter and it just wasn't as good. Not everyone has to have everything chromed LOL. And isn't the Topps Chrome Platinum just basically a chromed out Heritage concept? Also love Heritage every year too, let's keep some fun sets for the low end spenders too.
