Do you expect anything else

Fanatics is mass producing product , decreasing quality and hits ,


A case is going to net you 10 napkins baseball relics worth a buck a piece and 10 tie relics of no name people worth not the paper printed on

Another reason why I stopped ripping years ago and will only buy singles off eBay when hype dies down and everyone dumps product

There are a few peeps who will let you know you’re doing it wrong.

I mean, A&G has been a loser for several years now, but not that bad a loser. The fun/uniqueness factor is def part of the charm. But jacking the price 33% while taking away some of the fun….eesh.

Thanks man!

I know who Drew Pinsky is, but I had no clue what a druski was!

I must be getting old, I stopped recognizing any non-baseball names after 2019, LOL!

[ZappBrannigan]

Flopps. Two hits only. Like Rubin off Diddy’s crack pipe.

[DarcyWinston]

They just keep punishing us poor folks. Another one to scratch off the list. The rich aren’t going to save this release, nor will breakers.

[GlupShitto]

The website had an Oct. 20 preorder date yesterday, but now says Nov. 3.

I really enjoyed the Ginter Chrome Gold Refractors from 2020-2022. It's too bad those took a back seat to Dog Show cards.

[Cracktoast]

Every year people say A&G is going to be a huge bust and failure and every year it does just fine. Don't suspect this year will be any different.

[TimBuckTwo]

Two hits. More boxes. Higher price.

F U Topps.

[hermanotarjeta]

When will people learn to say no?

I used to buy this product every year up to the point of hitting a rip card. Been doing that since 2006. I stopped during the pandemic.

It can be done.

I used to get some because the non-sport names were a lot more well known and also great for TTM autographs. Now most you need to Google to find out why Ginter made a card of them

Where are all of you....umm, EINSTEINS,....who adamantly-posited that the hobby would be so much better...upon Craptastics', GLOBAL DOMINATION of the sports cards market...(eg. when there was [effectively] no more Panini)...?!

Sorta' ironic that there were PLENTY of ya', who were willing to [publicly, here]...."bow down" to kiss Ruby's,......err......uhh; RING,...BEFORE he/they commenced to the.....SHHHH FLINGIN' , in our faces, yet NOW,...not too many of ya' willing to stand on those some convictions,...huh?!

1) Exponentially more production, across-the-board
2) Higher pricing as a generality
3) Lesser value, absolutely
4) Incompetent development/marketing/sales force
5) Not a single, fuhhh, given....with regard to customer/consumer input/feedback
6) Poo-poo constantly & consistently being flung in our faces


"THANK YOU, SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER"!!

Wow - all of that punctuation with only one true period

It’s slightly hillarious because it’s been the complaint for at least a dozen years, most of which it’s not true for.

[Jboff73]

Two hits per box is definitely a big, blinking warning sign. This was the card set that brought me back into collecting, but it's slowly pushing me out now.

It really comes down to what is a "hit" and whether there will be fewer autographs per case overall. Rip cards, for me, don't really substitute for an autograph since they rarely return much than a random EXT card.

I would assume that if every box was guaranteed an auto, they would have stated that, since that would have been a welcome change.

What worries me is this line from Blowout's site:
"Among early teasers for hits are autos, framed Relics, rip cards or vintage buybacks, "making every rip a journey through the weird, wild and wonderful."

A vintage buyback could be anything, including common cards from the past 20 years, which they did during the 10th anniversary with foil-stamped cards from the first 9 years.

Since I've had my share of "three napkin" Ginter boxes, I could live with one fewer napkin. But if this means that most boxes (75%) will now be "two napkin" boxes, then I think we can say that the 20th anniversary of Ginter is hardly worth celebrating.
