Comprehensive 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Autograph Guide
The hobby has no shortage of autographs. Yet, not all are treated equally. Those that feature a more generic feel command lower prices. However, others have forged favorable followings with both player and set collectors. The result is notably higher, sometimes shocking, prices. The basic 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Autographs are a prime example.
Since its debut in 2006, Allen & Ginter has been one of the most widely collected sets. 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter is no different. While lots of collectors chasing master sets, the base Framed Mini Autographs sometimes take on a life of their own. Signed on-card, the signatures are always vibrant. The 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Autographs come with an elegant black border that is very different from past years. Further fueling the fire is a loaded checklist that has tons of Hall of Famers, timely non-baseball celebrities and some of the hottest players in the game today.
The checklist of framed 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter autographs has nearly 90 players. Usually such expansive checklists are watered down with lesser players. While some are stronger than others, overall it is very strong -- perhaps the strongest for the brand yet.
The non-baseball Champions autographs are equally impressive. While there are still some quirky inclusions that will have limited appeal outside of niche collectors and set builders, the set also has some major names. Kate Upton, Erin Andrews and Roger Federer are among them.
The 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Autographs have a Red parallel numbered to 10. In recent years, these have been exclusive to Rip Cards. However, this year they're also inserted in packs ass framed autographs.
Below you will find an extensive gallery of 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Framed Autographs. However, quality images of some cards haven't surfaced yet. Also, a few of the images below use the Red Ink versions. The cards are the same except for the color of the autograph and the hand numbering.
