2025 Topps Allen & Ginter: Box 3 (Just the Good Stuff)

Welcome to the highlights post for my third box of 2025 Topps Allen & Ginter!  We'll jump straight in with the five mini inserts from the box:


I'm a big fan of pretty much all of this year's mini insert sets (especially the fish, though that Snailfish looks pretty disgusting)!  

There was only one full-sized card of particular note in the box - this Chrome Refractor of Roki Sasaki.


I do like the look of the Chrome Refractors, but I won't be chasing the full set this year (after all, I'm still working on last year's Chrome Refractor set)!  

Finally, the two promised hits, starting with this relic with a lovely bright orange bit of cloth:


I'll admit that I was a bit disappointed to learn that not all of the relics were framed.  Don't get me wrong, I'll never complain about getting a Hall of Famer relic with an interesting color fabric, but there is a part of me that can't help but think how much cooler this would be as a framed relic!

I did get a framed hit, though - and it was a Green Frame autograph #/50:


I'm now three-for-three in terms of pulling autographs in boxes of this year's Allen & Ginter set.  Even better for me, two of my three autographs have been serially numbered!

Overall, I think Box 3 was probably the worst of the three boxes I've ripped.  However, it was still a solid enough break, and I am still enjoying all of the base cards and inserts (even if I don't bother to scan them).  I can't wait to get all of the cards sorted and placed in my binder - I always love flipping through A&G sets once they've been bindered!

  1. That Pigeon Point card is the one Nick and I are both chasing. Congratulations on the pull. I also really like that Betts mini with the portrait and action shots.
