A Mini Mailday Full of Minis.

The release of the 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter set is finally nearly upon us.  From what I can tell, the (new) official release date is November 18 after a number of delays from its original release date of early September.  

As you probably could guess, I am excited about this year's Ginter set since that's my favorite brand most years.  So excited, in fact, that I recently scoured Sportlots for a few Barry Larkin Allen & Ginter cards from previous years that I needed.  As luck would have it, I did find one seller with a pair of Larkin mini cards that I was missing.  

The first is this Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome mini from 2020.  

I don't quite understand why Topps felt that Ginter needed a Chrome version but no from the company asked me for my opinion.  While the set itself isn't for me, I do feel compelled to track down the Larkin cards so here we are!

The second card I was able to procure was this black border mini from last year's Ginter set.

Not a lot to say about this one but I do like the card.

A nice little mail day today - two mini Larkin needs that I can now check off the ol' want list.  Now it's back to waiting for this year's edition of Allen & Ginter to be released!
