My quest to collect the entire 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter relic set continues with another recent eBay purchase. I've been having fun buying lots of relics, usually saving a bit of money as compared to buying singles which is great as long as I need all of the relics in a given lot. Since I've barely cracked the set for now, I still need most of the relics which means lots are the way to go at the moment!
My latest lot consisted of a bunch of current players, though I can't say that any of the guys featured here are guys that I'm particularly fond of.
Lots of white and gray bits of cloth in this particular lot which is kind of a bummer. I do like the overall design of this year's relic set and I think he helps to make what would otherwise be a rather boring memorabilia card a bit more interesting. Gives it some pizzazz if you will.
Speaking of pizzazz...The real highlight of the lot was the fifth and final relic:
That's a gorgeous Rickey Henderson and it's nice to knock out another one of the retired legends from the set!
I still need a whole bunch of relics to finish off the set but at least I'm making progress. I know for a fact that there are a couple of relics that are going to be a real bear to track down (and I may never track them all down) but it's the chase that's the fun part, right?!

This is such an awesome set build. Love that Rickey! There are so many players I collect on this checklist. Tony. Fernando. Jose. Ichiro. Plus a couple of other Japanese guys. I probably won't actively search for these, but if I find them cheap... I'll definitely grab them.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that you're so far along already. There's a couple of biggies left in there for sure, but it looks like there's a number of cheapies too.
