Six Relics Come In...But How Many Do I Actually Need?!

Recently, I found myself on eBay overpaying for a lot of 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter relics.  As loyal readers know, I decided to try and build the entire 2020 A&G framed relic set and so finding a lot of relics seemed like a good idea for myself.

In total, the lot contained six relics (but only five were unique).  I needed exactly two of them for my personal set:  

That means that the other four relics were all duplicates for me - and  yes, all four are now available for trade.  I may end up listing my duplicate framed relics as a lot on eBay down the line but for now I'll hold out hope that I can flip some (or all) of these into something I actually need/want!  

All things considered, I don't think I paid much more for the lot than it would have cost me to purchase each of the two relics that I actually needed on their own.  

As for the relic set, I'm now only missing 12* of the 70 relics in the set.  Not surprisingly though, most of the "big names" are still at large:

2020 Allen & Ginter Framed Relics - Wants:  

MFR-AJ Aaron Judge - New York Yankees

MFR-GB George Brett - Kansas City Royals

MFR-HA Hank Aaron - Milwaukee Braves

MFR-JBE Johnny Bench - Cincinnati Reds

MFR-LR Luis Robert - Chicago White Sox

MFR-RC Roger Clemens - New York Yankees

MFR-RJ Reggie Jackson - New York Yankees

MFR-RJO Randy Johnson - Arizona Diamondbacks

MFR-TW Ted Williams - Boston Red Sox

MFR-WM Willie Mays - San Francisco Giants

*One more relic is on the way but not yet in hand.  I'm still counting it as one that I own!

As for the remaining cards, well:  the chase continues!
