I'm back today to show the contents of my penultimate box of 2025 Topps Allen & Ginter. To date, I've already found a pair of red ink autos plus the Barry Bonds auto. Can box 11 keep the good times rolling?!
Box 11:
Minis:
As usual, we'll start with the mini inserts. Is there any uglier-looking fish than the Blobfish?
I did get one other mini of note: a no-number mini of Sam Aldegheri.
I'll be honest, I don't get the appeal of the no-number minis. Sure, I chase after the Barry Larkin cards without the number, but that's because I'm an idiot player collector.
Hits:
No full-sized cards of note, so let's jump straight to the two promised hits beginning with this full-sized (booooooo) relic of C.C. Sabathia.
Remember when Gint-a-Cuffs was a thing? Yeah, that Sabathia would have tanked my score!
My other hit was decidedly better, a framed Paul Molitor autograph!
I love getting autos of retired stars, so this is an instant winner in my book.
Overall, a solid box (can't complain about a Molitor autograph). I'm down to my final box to show off, and since I've already ripped it as of the time I'm writing this post, I can tell you that it has the best pull yet (for a Reds collector, anyhow)!
Better than a Bonds auto? Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteOkay it took me this long to recognize that the baseball minis you've been showing are a special mini insert and not just the standard mini variants.
ReplyDeleteUnless someone's crazed enough to build a no-number set, those cards are entirely for player collectors, though I don't know who is player-collecting Aldegheri.
