[INFO] Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread

[wheelz1200]

PSA is only shutting down orders for a bit.  They had a massive hiring frenzy so lots of new employees and they over ran their local usps.  This break is just to clear some of the clog, they probably don't have enough bonded storage space for the massive amount of orders.  They are currently expanding.  Business as usual in a couple months.

I hear it will be July. This price increase will certainly deter all the little guys and people wanting their cards graded on the cheap, that's for sure.

I submitted 15 of the full-sized Ginter X black cards a few weeks ago, and they sat, status received but unchanged, until late last week. Now they’re in the grading phase, so I hope to have them back soon. However, I can’t help but wonder if (A) they will speed thru the grading process in order to catch up on the backlog and (B) how that speedier grading may affect the results. We’ll see soon enough.

Good luck to all the others who are waiting on graded cards.

Hi Chris

At what service level did you submit these cards?

[Fattcatt]

Hey Penny Man....GOOD LUCK....some mighty fine cards there 

[BitcoinPenny]

They were sent as Express, I think, back in mid-February. With luck, they'll be graded, slabbed, and returned sometime late next week.

[dolphriends]

All just in my opinion but, I was thinking of what would be in the ultimate collection of the #83 and I came up with the following

A regular common PSA 10 including a PSA 10 mini regular back and PSA 10 a&g back
A gold border and black border PSA 10
A silver glossy PSA 10
A brooklyn back PSA 10
A no # PSA 10
A glowie PSA 10
A must have to top this of is the regular or mini 1/1 glossy which only come in PSA 9. none higher

From the x-box a regular PSA 10  a mini PSA 10 and one of the red mini PSA 9, none higher
The silver mini would be the ultimate but, isn't around.

Any 5x7 PSA 10's or blank backs would add some nice touches to the collection. 

This is the ultimate collection without the printing plates.

There are beautiful packs you can add like the 3-card #83 cello pack and PSA 10 regular and X packs. 

The dolphin just thinking out loud

Penny good luck to you.  Express was a good option, going value now will net you over a year wait time.  Pending how the results end up it will be a score.  I know its not popular thought here but overall I feel the card game will dip some its been very bubbly and when that "free" stimulus money spending dies down i expect these types of things like cards to slap a little.

Thanks, FattCatt and wheelz.

Anyone know what a sealed 2018 A&G hobby box sells for nowadays? I have a few that I may wish to unload.

My guess is around 450 to 500.00  and crazy numbers for the x box.

I have the one at my shop set at $400. Its getting harder by the day to walk past it without tearing it open 

[BitcoinPenny]

I feel your pain. I'm close to ripping open these boxes myself. The thought of pulling a Crypto Brookie, Glowie, or heck, even the simplest base mini is very tempting right now! Good luck.

OK, I’ve decided to sell these sealed hobby boxes @ $450 each or .032 BTC for all 4 boxes. Shipping included.

PM me if interested. Otherwise, they go to eBay for top dollar.

Few things as exciting (in collectible at least) as opening these boxes. I pulled some cool non Cryptocurrency card stuff like acuna auto, will clark / buster Posey dual rip, etc. Someone will have a good time for sure

I just looked at the photo and it appears the upper right corner might have an issue, hard to tell with photos

hmm. item is way underpriced though. i was thinking a zero was left off of 4500 or a 2 left off the front of 2450.

we may not see many of these again.  i would keep even at a 5.
