Barry Larkin
I still don't own a single Stained Glass mini (from any year of A&G) so that's definitely a card I'd like to acquire. The Mini No Number and Brooklyn Backs are nearly as interesting but they are both difficult to find, especially years after the set's release!
Year: 2021
Brand: Topps Allen & Ginter
Insert set: Rip Card (ripped)
Card number: RIP-BL (#82/99)
Card number: RIP-BL (#82/99)
The Allen & Ginter brand is probably best known for two things: random inclusions in the base set and Rip Cards as chase cards. The card you see above is one of the Rip Cards - basically a card that holds another mini card inside but you have to destroy the big card to get to the inner, mystery card. I generally don't try to buy unripped Rip Cards, but given the chance to acquire a ripped version I jumped on it since that's a much more affordable way to add another Larkin card to my collection!
With the Rip Card now in hand, I'm nearly done with the 2021 Allen & Ginter set in terms of collecting the various Barry Larkin cards featured in the set. Here's the full checklist of what I'm after with "no" meaning I still need to acquire the card for my collection:

The Stained Glass minis are really nice looking cards. When you combine that with their scarcity... I'm guessing they are pretty pricey.
