2008 Topps A&G 2 Box break

[Bullpride]

I recently received 2 boxes of 2008 Allen and Ginter Baseball cards from Blowout Cards and wanted to share.

The Hits (I know no build up, here is the good stuff haha)

I pulled seven (7) relic cards

Inside rip card: Wood panel Hiroki Kuropa (I believe the biggest pull)

Inserts

Missing several and have several duplicates. Not sure If I am going to trade these off or try to complete the set

Minis

Ancient icons
AI1 Isis

Baseball Icons

All my minis are available for trade as I dont plan on trying to make the set. Would like to trade for Rays players or cards to complete my set.

Duplicates
10 25 30 41 43 45 51 76 77 81 86 93 95 123 134 156 161 168 173 188 205 211 216 218 228 234 246 250 257 273 280

As with the mini, my duplicates are available.

What I thought

All in all a very enjoyable experience. I got some Rays player cards and the Evan Longoria Rookie (with only 3 packs left in the 2nd box). I am excited about the number of relics and especially the wood mini. Please let me know what you think and if there is anything else I should be looking for. Drop me a line if you need anything I have

Could you check my want list to see if you have any of the minis I need? And nice break, I hope I can pull a rip card someday.

[Bullpride]

I think this is my 10th post so I should be able to see your want list finally. I was excited when i saw the rip card, but didnt know what exactly to do with it. Part of the fun is figuring it out I guess

[Bullpride]

I was gonna write you an email, but need 20 posts for that...so here is what i have for you

AI1 WL3
regular 131
Black 75 81 150 and 225

Quick question for those that have collected A&G Minis. Are they A&G back parallels worth much more or all that rare?

They are worth more but not all that much. And I can really use those AI1 and 131 minis, what do you need in return?

Baseball Icons
BI18 Tris Speaker

World Leaders
