Earlier this morning, I pulled my first silk card out of the case of 2015 Topps Allen & Ginter. The goodies don't stop there though as this set of six packs will produce an autograph. More on that in a moment though as there are bunch of good cards to show off this time around!
Box 9:
Packs 7 - 12:
Box 9 has been very, very good to me and it's only half over by the end of this post! I landed
three new full-sized inserts - a huge number for this late in the case break! The first new card hails from the Ancient Armory set - the Claymore.
I'll also think of Claymores as little mines that you lay on the ground to have people run over (ala the Call of Duty video games). However, a Claymore is actually a Scottish long, two-handed double-edged sword popular in the 15th - 17th centuries.
Next, a pair of new Menagerie of the Mind cards.
It seems like everyone and their mother loves Zombies these days with shows like The Walking Dead among others being extremely popular. I never got on the Zombie train though so my favorite card is the Centaur. That's probably not a surprise to anyone who knows me since I love pretty much all things Greek related (except olives - yuck)!
I also was fortunate enough to land a brand new mini - another from A World Beneath Our Feet.
That Coccinella Septempunctata (aka Seven-Spotted Ladybug) is a gardner's best friend since the ladybug eats many plant-damaging bugs. Since I do dabble a bit in vegetable gardening, I'm a big fan of the ladybug!
Finally, we get to hit #2 out of the box - a nice blue autograph of Darren Rovell - sports business analyst from ESPN.
I love getting framed autographs out of Ginter - even if this one isn't the most exciting to me since I no longer watch ESPN much! This is actually the second Rovell autograph out of the box - you may recall I pulled a red auto back in the last box (box #8)!
I still have no complaints - except perhaps that I wish I had used this box for my Gint-a-Cuffs box...a silk card plus an auto - that would have been a lot of points! Of course, that wood mini I pulled earlier might have been enough to win the competition on its own (as of the time I am writing this post, the Gint-a-Cuffs rules and points haven't been posted so this is all conjecture on my part)!
