2010 Topps Allen & Ginter hobby box break
I went over to the hobby shop yesterday because I got an e-mail saying the shipment of 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter was due in at 3pm via UPS. For someone that hates this product, I don’t know why I drove there or why I wanted it. I will admit I had fun opening it and that it wasn’t all that bad. There were two packs in the box that had two mini cards, with a total of 9 cards in each pack, which was fun for me.
I didn’t end up with any base doubles which always makes me happy with a box break. Could I do without the random non-sports cards? Absolutely. Since I don’t build sets, I will end up trading those and many others to people who need them. My want list from this set won’t be very long. No one can say I didn’t give it a try this year =)
Here are the contents of my one and only box of this:
(SPOILER: I didn’t pull a Strasbug.)
(WHAT I AM THINKING: I am sick of his name.)
Things for my PC: (Pretty certain Andy Pettitte is the same picture from 2009)
World’s Wordsmiths (If Sooz does want to complete the set despite it being a sausage party set, she gets first crack at this one.)
Sailors of the Seven Seas (This card is cool because I live about 4 inches from the Hudson River.)
A&G back mini’s
Baseball Sketches (I only know one person who would want the Daniel Murphy card, and she may end up with it.)
N43 Box Topper (Hooray for a guy I actually like, and have liked before he was a Yankee.)
I have no clue what the Gint-A-Cuffs thing is about, and I am too lazy to find out. If I have something that would get me something cool in whatever that is, I am sure someone will let me know.
Overall, I had fun with opening this box but I don’t see any more of this product in my future other than trading for singles I need or picking up singles on eBay.
If I were forced to give this set a grade based on my opinion of this box (I don’t like the fact that I got all relics and I prefer more colorful backgrounds.), I would probably say a B-.
Any chance those Theriot cards could make their way north of the border?
Hey is the Tulo game used for trade? Please lmk, thanks
