I found myself in Wal-Mart the other day and, as I'm wont to do, I ended up perusing the meager card aisle. It turned out that Wal-Mart had exactly two remaining 2014 Topps Allen & Ginter's jumbo packs still hanging there...so I took a chance and bought them knowing full well that I probably wouldn't get anything good since I already found a relic and an autograph from that batch of packs.
At least I wasn't disappointed. I didn't get anything good*.
*here "good" is being defined in the conventional baseball card way to mean a relic, auto, or some other rare item.
I did, however, get some nice new cards for my set - and as a set collector, that's more important to me anyhow! Before we take a look at my sixth Jumbo pack, let me say this:
I WANT YOUR 2014 ALLEN & GINTER'S INSERTS (regular, mini, and box toppers). Contact me if you have any for trade!
Jumbo #6:
Upper Half:
77. Stan Musial
85. Carlos Santana
128. Bill Rancic
223. Tony Gwynn
239. Jose Altuve
287. Chuck Zito
328. C.J. Wilson
Another short print for my set - it's cards like this that I consider good even if others don't! I didn't have the money to buy a full case of Ginter this year so I have a feeling that I'll need all the short prints I can get!
Bottom Half:
129. Hank Aaron
186. Billy Hamilton
217. Jose Iglesias
Pastime's Pastimes: Jacoby Ellsbury
Even if it is a Yankee, I needed this one. I hope to complete all the various insert sets this year (even this 100 card monstrosity) but I know I won't be able to do it without help from all of you. Let me know if you have any to spare - once I get my cards from my boxes sorted I'm sure I'll still need a bunch (and probably have quite a few to trade away as well)!
Air Supremacy: MIG-15
Yep, I'll be chasing this one too even if I prefer boats (done in a previous year over planes).
Reg. mini: 172. Andrelton Simmons
Short print regular back mini: 309. Hunter Pence
The short print minis are seeded 1:7 packs which makes putting the mini set together via buying Jumbo Packs a very expensive proposition. I don't recommend attempting that.
So, no relics or autographs but I wasn't disappointed as I did land another Air Supremacy card that I needed. The two minis are trade bait - I want the mini inserts rather than the mini base cards!
