As you probably know, I love Allen & Ginter...but I don't love it enough to fork over $125 for another hobby box (which is the going rate at the moment). So, I ventured to my local WalMart and as luck would have it, they had three blasters of 2017 A&G in stock.
Although I didn't strike it rich, I did get a few nice cards for my set including the first three Horse in the Race minis!
If you have any Ginter for trade, please check out my want list as I am still needing a lot of cards!
For those wondering, here is the final tally of how I managed to do with my three blasters...
Note: The number in parenthesis is the number of cards that I pulled that I actually needed for my set out of the total number I was missing at the time.
Base cards: 84 - including 5 duplicates (9/47)
Base short prints: 12 (2/4)
Revolutionary Battles: 2 (0/0)
Sport Fish & Fishing Lures: 5 (0/2)
World's Fair: 5 (0/1)
What a Day!: 12 (4/53)
Constellations: 1 (1/8)
Magicians & Illusionists: 1 (0/11)
Horse in the Race: 3 (3/25)
World's Dudes: 2 (1/35)
I also ended up with 8 regular minis, 2 regular mini short prints, 5 A&G back minis, 1 A&G back mini short print, and 1 black bordered mini.
Overall, I landed 20 new cards for my set, 9 of which were inserts of some sort. I guess that's not terrible, but it definitely wasn't worth the $60 I spent either. On the bright side, I do have plenty of trade bait now...
Not wanting to let a good thing pass me by, I grabbed all three (along with some groceries and other items) and called it a day. Since I was hoping to get something cool from the blasters, I recorded myself ripping all three in one video.
Truth be told, not a lot cool. *shrug emoji*
