When I decided that I'd try to collect the full 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Framed Relic set, deep down I honestly expected to come up three cards short when all was said and done. You see, the checklist has a bunch of great players on it...but three greats in particular appear to be printed in much scarcer supply than the rest of the set - and of course those three cards are cards of three of the greatest players to ever play the game (Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ted Williams).
But then...and eBay auction happened and a best offer was accepted...and a few days later this beauty was mine!
That's Willie Mays and it's a gorgeous relic.
I love last year's A&G relic design and being able to now say I own a piece of history (that being this Mays' memorabilia) is extra cool! It's kind of hard to believe that I was able to own this card prior to getting cards of say Aaron Judge or Roger Clemens but sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot!
Speaking of the other relics I need, here's what remains from my 2020 Ginter want list:
Congrats on snagging the Mays relic, and good luck with the rest of this set!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is one fantastic card.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that they didn't go with a jersey swatch for Willie.
