Edit #1: Looking to trade for some Allen & Ginter cards? I have a BIG TRADE BAIT PAGE here.
Edit #2: Looking for some of my better Allen & Ginter pulls, including the relic from this post? Here's a link to my current eBay auctions which include a lot of 2017 Ginter (and also a bunch of short prints from 2008 Topps Heritage).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm back with the final eight packs out of my fourth box of 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter. This box has proven to be a decent one with an autograph and a Brooklyn back mini leading the way. Can we find something else to make it a truly great box? Let's find out together.
Box 4:
Packs 17 - 24:
Once again, I must show off the fish card.
Walleye are popular fish among fishermen in my area though I can't say that I've ever eaten Walleye before.
Only two minis worth mentioning this time around, both are inserts including another World's Dude card (which I love).
The University Track Dude is kind of hilarious looking. The photo is perfect for a set like this, kudos to Topps for that.
The other insert is another one of the Bust a Move cards - this time for the Tango.
I can't dance to save my life - and I'm not sure the written step-by-step instructions on the back can save me...but I do appreciate the card design. Once again, kudos to Topps.
For all of the complaining I hear about Topps, I have to say that they brought their A game (for the most part) with this year's edition of Allen & Ginter. I think the worst part of the design is the box loaders - they aren't awful but they simply don't interest me the way some of the more oddball designs used to.
Speaking of not really interesting me, the non-framed relics are pretty dull in my eyes. My final hit of the box was Xander Bogaerts of the Red Sox.
Not the most exciting ending to a box, but I'm still happy to have landed two more mini inserts for my set. I've greatly enjoyed this year's edition of Ginter (I wish I had had the cash to buy a case) but at least I have one more box remaining to open. Let's hope for more magic in that one!
