I'm trying to wrap up my 2025 Topps Allen & Ginter set, but to do so, I need to finish off a number of mini sets yet. One of those sets is the N222 mini set, the only baseball-themed mini set from last year's Ginter. I recently won an eBay auction for a nice-sized stack of minis - a lot of which I still needed, and I figured the rest would be good trade bait to hopefully finish off my set!
Here's what I was able to add to my collection thanks to eBay:
At this point, I'm now only missing four cards from the set:
#3: Ronald Acuna, Jr.
#16: Fernando Tatis, Jr.
#25: Kevin Alcantara
#29: Brooks Lee
Happily, I now have the "big name" cards from the set, so hopefully it's only a short matter of time before I'm able to acquire the final four needed cards!
Love this set. I went to eBay to look into purchasing a complete set. Looks like one sold at the end of December for $130. Guess I won't be buying one of these anytime soon :D. Good luck landing the final four!
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me. I don't think the N222 minis were any rarer than any of the other mini sets, but this set seems to command much higher prices/trade value. Probably in large part due to more people collecting pieces of cardboard with pictures of baseball players as opposed to say pictures of lighthouses or fish (to each their own, I say)!
