[INFO] Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread

2018 was a good rookie year.  I didn't know Soto was a rookie in 2018. Only know A&G cards lol. He wasn't featured.

A 2017 x case (12 boxes) on Ebay 1500. A 2018 x single box 900 (recent sales about 400) A 2016 x box 165. 2017 x box 140.

Too bad soto not featured in 2018 A&G, then it'd be epic.

[Mrstacy]

I have to agree with the Penny Man, card dealers know whats what...and 2018 was a terrific year for Rookies...including out most loved
#83 Cryptocurrency cards. There is a case with all of the wood cards, OR they are scattered in cases not yet opened. All the other cases of all of the other variations are completely independent from what we seek in here. Which is pretty much anything promoting Cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and the people behind it all. So far all we have is the "Rookie" card. Are there more out there, yes, and way more than you think. I have several unopened x box's and packs of the TAG 2018. I'm sure that I will buy more before it's all over too. Much like the Penny Man, I've developed a friendship with these people and have had in depth dialogues about what Penny Man is saying. It's true, in fact just the other day I was telling someone about taking all of their cards in to his local card dealer, to have them looked at PRIOR to sending. Because we all want 10's only. They have people on staff that will look at all of your cards and tell you what cards will get a 10. It works, they have a dead-eye for that. Your local card dealers are sharper than you think. Get to know them a little, and you'll understand. Like, these people sending in their cards to Becketts because PSA gave them a 9.....not a great idea. Dealers will crack that 9 and send it back in to PSA, because collectors WANT the PSA cards. PSA is the standard. They would rather take another shot at possibly getting a different grader & getting a 10 next go around, than to send it to Becketts. My card dealer Dave, has told me that time and time again. You can learn PLENTY from your local card dealer. Penny Man is right on the money.

I see what you mean on PSA vs. BGS but a black label 10 would be quite a catch

Who is in and out of the ginter 2018 set is no matter.  With or without soto it would be the same pricing.  They arent premium cards therefore the baseball world goes to other companies/products to get more premium cards.  This 2018 release and why it is priced the way it is is Solely on the #83.  If soto was in here it wouldn't move the price needle on the box.  I'm not trying to be a downer this is actually a plug for how much the crypto card really is worth.

Not much of a premium on regular hobby boxes.  A 2019 goes for 130, 2018 110, 2017 120.  Makes sense in a way, the only high end crypto card are brooklyns and glows - odds impossibly stacked against you.

[Fattcatt]

Well yeah A Black label at Becketts, but why not retry PSA?....what you need to keep in mind is that the A & G cards are known to be made of a lower grade, thinner paper/cardboard...something to take into account when grading. Ask any dealer and they will tell you it's that way because Topps makes them for entertainment purposes mostly. The full sized silver glossy is a nice thick card, but none of the rest of them are that nicely done. I keep wondering why they picked that card to be a higher quality. Anyone else wonder that?

All the recent communication on this thread, and the excitement about "what is out there," I had to twist my own arm and open the few remaining 2018 X packs I had. Bad news and no #83 Silver, Reds, X mini, or Woody. The only good one was a #239 Evan Longoria Brooklyn mini 4/25. Good luck to others!

Not too bad getting a Brooklyn.  With each pack opened,  the remaining ones increase in value.   Do you open or hodl. Tough call

I would've expected it to sell for a lot more. Is the hype cooling off?

[Fattcatt]

I dunno Penny Man, maybe the economy has something to do with it, or the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner, I definitely don't think that the card itself has "cooled".....it's a on card collectors perpetual "Hot-List" in my book.

Just a heads up for you fellow treasure seekers.  Keep an eye out for any possible cryptocurrency related cards that may be coming in the 2020 basketball season.  I will be particularly watching donruss and leaf for any possible inserts.   

That's the heads up from the dolphin

The 1/1 A&G #83 blank back from the topps vault went for appx. 2700.00 and we were off to the races once that price was established.  The black mini's and brooklyn backs started to disappear.  This egg wood card will be the key card as to what happens with all the other egg cards.  All just my opinion but, I will definately go 3,000 for the card but, most likely not much higher.   Good luck fellow treasure seeker

Just seeing a wood card of a sought after card is super rare.  Of the 1/1 cards it is at the top of my favorite ones.  The printing plate, the silver mini would be my other two top choices.
