2014 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball Cards

I opened a rip card to find a Wood Mini, Miguel Cabrera, but there was no hand number on it. Looking online I see that others have 1/1 on it. Does anyone know if all of the wood parallels are 1/1?

The glossy was #2, Don Mattingly.

This week I pulled two odd cards. The first was a no number Desmond Jennings, which I see others have found as well. The second was a mini stamped 1/1 on the back. It took me a while to figure out that it was a glossy.

I am in Canada (Quebec) and just saw this product and tried a pack and was hooked right away. Enjoyed the variety. Got a RIP Shelby Miller 55/75…..what do these sell for as a minimum “unripped”. Thanks

It’s always an adventure to open a Allen and Ginter pack find something exciting, Whether sports related or something fun.
The other day I found an 2014 Allen and Ginter #145 Derek Jeter card wrapped individualy within the baseball pack, with glossy surface, stamped in gold, a 1/1, one of one. Did I hit the jackpot or just another special insert?
Anyway, I think it some fun to get a special Jeter card in the year he retires.

Love A&G Every year! Haven’t been able to afford it this year though. Was wondering, WHO won the box of A&G you had up Ryan? Can’t seem to find it anywhere. Could you email me please and let me know :) Thanks! Have a GREAT DAY there @CardBoardConnection! You guys ROCK!

where do i start, my wife and i fell in love with Allen Ginter last year and have waited all year for the new arrival. so we preorder a case, and finally the day comes and the mail truck brings it to our door. after 12 boxes, were looking at five common autos and 29 plain white relic pieces. After building the set and most of the mini subsets, we felt kind of empty as we could have bought any other product and atleast pulled one decent auto or patch. now you look online and the best non sport auto is snoop lion? lol….i had my best luck buying the singles i wanted for next to nothing online and will never purchase a case again. when your rip card is your best hit and you cant even get 50 for it, you’ll start realizing you just spent $1,100 on a base set. so disappointed this year, as all the best cards have already been pulled and even the dna cards cant fetch 1,000. It’s not about money and profit of selling its about the love of collecting, but five autos for 1,100? theres no fun in it. i really feel they could have so much better then this and i’m sorry to say but i’m done with ginter. i had more fun with archives and gypsy queen. i just don’t see the fun in it anymore.

Love the Air Supremacy cards.
I bought 3 boxes.
Pulled the same patch in box 1 and 3. Dr. James Andrews. Pulled
2 Rip cards, Ripped both and both were Bo Jackson Short Prints.

I am strictly a football card collector. My knowledge with baseball is as far fetched as the Milky Way. I purchase a blaster from Walmart. My break consisted of one of the most interesting subjects, a “Snoop Lion”.

Shocked was my impression, truly, how great is that! The other notable card was a mini black border Jackie Robinson. For the first time ever, I now own several Japanese players. Forum members of CCW were gracious to send me other players of Japanese decent. Oh, wow! My people in sports!

Great card stock with nice renditions. An amusing array of non-sports cards. My only caveat with this set were quality control issues with the minis, it seems that Topps had missed cut the edges and left out two decorated bands on my Jackie Robinson mini. It looked like an eight of an inch. Other than this issue, I will be purchasing a AG blaster every year from this point on.

I started collecting again this summer after 14 years away.

Of the sets I’ve purchased A&G has been my favorite because of the variety. I

bought a few packs from a hobby box at ASG Fanfest (nothing but base cards in those packs; however, I bought two blaster boxes from Target and got a Hanley Ramirez Mini Card Jersey and Phelps Sweatt Jersey card.

I really like the art work. There are so many new features on most chrome , die cut , and such, this goes back to basics in a fantastic way!
My son and I started in early 90’s and he moved out and left me our collection, so he’ll be happy when I give him my Kevin Smith worn material ! Great job Topps!

A fun set again. I love the non baseball stuff as much as the baseball stuff.

Anyone know what the print run on the full sized relics is roughly? Got a Tanaka and a Dr. Andrews.

Not for me. This would have been a fun product if the price were cut in half, otherwise I feel you don’t get much for the money. 10 packs and no hits, and the base cards are boring; which would be OK if this was a nostalgic collection that didn’t cost so much.

I got a no number Jennings too. Seems like its tough to get Abreu. Maybe it’s just my luck. Is it possible for there to be 2 hits in one pack? I just bought a box at a hobby shop with 2 packs missing and got 0 hits. Lame. 22 packs – no hits

Anyone know about no number base cards I have a Desmond Jennings

First box I have ever bought for myself and I pulled a 5/5 McGwire/Canseco double rip card. Magnet sticks to it.

hey shawn id like to do some trading. email me ericmeekins@gmail.com

Bought a case and was overall happy. I don’t like that they have 6 minis on the checklist that you have to buy multiple binders to get. Also, coincidence 11 has not surfaced any where. What’s the deal with this card? If anyone wants to do some set trading, I’ll up for it!

are the glossy 1/1’s serial numbered or somehow marked as such?

Fairly new to collecting cards but I really enjoyed the 2013 A&G set. I figured i’d would see what the 2014 set looked like and got a blaster box from Target and a Retail box from Amazon. Between the two I pulled a Ian Desmond full size relic card, an Allyson Felix framed auto card, and a mini Carlton Fisk red A&G back #14/25. As of right now I still prefer the 2013 set but i’m sure i’ll be buying more of the 2014 sometime soon.

It’s just lame that Springer is missing alot of the good design cards with his RC like Archives, and Now allen & ginter, i know he was brang up late, but they should have been prepared just incase

Excellent product. Pulled a Larry King auto and a Trout relic. Also a no numbered mini and a no number base card. Lastly box topper was a mini pack of red bordered cards numbered to 33. Can’t find any info on those.

I love the variety that comes with this product.

Love this set year after year!

I guess no springer base rc :( topps just hates the Astros

I pulled some great items out of 4 boxes, I got a Wilmer Flores auto jumbo patch book card numbered to 10, a Greg Maddux wood mini numbered 1/1, a Bryce Harper Rip Card numbered to 10, a Dustin Pedroia Rip Card numbered to 50 that I ripped and it had a Matt Moore metal card, a bazooka back mini and an Adrian Beltre mini printing plate. Also 5 jersey cards and 2 autographs. The only complaint I have is the collation, I had several triples and quadruples of other cards while still being short over 60 cards for one complete base set and 15 short of the SP set.

Does anyone know the best place to purchase the binder? I’m not seeing on Topps website. Thanks

Finally!! A somewhat complete checklist. Thank you!

The checklist here says 300 cards, the latest solicit I saw says 350 cards, so I assume Tanaka and Abreu are in there somewhere and I assume they’ll be SPs.

Really hope Mattingly is in the base set too.

Have you heard anything on the final Checklist?

It is hard to buy cards with no checklist… release is in 4 days?

I love how people skew things by giving a product 5 stars or whatever and it hasn’t even come out yet. Give it a rest people. Judge the product AFTER it comes out. Geeez

i bought like 6 packs of the 2013 and got a joey votto jersey framed card and a redemption for a tommy lee framed auto. needless to say i will buy packs of the 2014 i dunno about hobby boxes tho not enough rookies

Kinda weird that George Springer doesn’t have a RC next to his name. Lol

If that’s the case, with how Abreu and Tanaka are performing, I give it 5 stars. I can deal with weird non-baseball cards if those 2 guys are in there.

ok no Im seeing that they will be in the set and special versions of their cards will be given away at the release party in Clevland. Too bad I don’t live there.

I love these cards but get annoyed by all the non-baseball cards. And where is Abreu and Tanaka? Puig and Machado made this set ok for me last year but this year…Where are the top 2 rookies? Are they gonna be SP?

Sean Y, a Vin Scully auto!!

No soccer cards this time???

I look forward to this product year after year!

They need to do a radio/TV broadcaster set! I like to see a Bob Uecker Ginter autograph. Does anyone know if they have a suggestion box? Haha

Love Ginter, regardless of the year or checklist, it’s always an interesting and surprises around every corner rip!!

Is there any schedule date of release for this yet? I know last year it was delayed a bit, but I would like to have a day on the calendar to be counting down to. This is the set that got me back into the hobby and I look forward to it every year.

Excellent product every year. Definitely the best bang for your buck too. Hobby boxes under $90 with three hits per box. This is where you start to see the exciting rookie cards through the current season. Cant wait to get my hands on this product.

I like the fact that the facts of this set, slowly reveal them selves months after release. My only problem is that the set is pain to chase,4 Hobby boxes and countless retail boxes from walmart. Had to finish off of websites.

Will they put cards in between the box covers?
