2024 A&G: I was not happy when Max Fried signed with the Yankees in the offseason. He's had another great season with them making the All-Star team.
I'm good with this base design. It has the A&G design that works. Gunnar Henderson is having another good season in Baltimore but hasn't had the pop he had last year when he hit 37 home runs.
This is a flat tailed gecko on this X-Ray’d insert. Pretty cool cards actually. They are plastic on the front and overall, a fun card from the Oregon Zoo.
The two minis I pulled including a Black Border Parallel Charlie Blackmon.
Here we get one of the non-baseball players in the set. Tim Robinson is an actor and a comedian.
Sister, Sister inserts focus on sister cities in the United States and abroad.
I really enjoy retired greats and there were two in this pack. I'm a big Paul Molitor fan so it was fun to pull him. Nice pack of cards. A&G isn't something I chase a lot but they are enjoyable when I do pick them up.

Kruk wins it.
ReplyDeleteSister cities isn't a bad idea for a subset.
Great choice in Kruk and I like the Sister Cities as well.
DeleteReally liked the last 2 years of AG - wonder if it is going to be around this year
ReplyDeleteI've seen rumors of late this year but we'll see.
DeleteI am trying to piece together the X-rayed insert set. I believe the gecko one is a card I am missing.
ReplyDeleteIf I still have the card I'll send it your way.
DeleteThe X-Ray inserts are pretty cool. Good to see Topps still has a little ingenuity left in the tank. I was hoping San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose was on the Sister Cities checklist. I would have definitely chased them if they had.
ReplyDeleteI like the x-ray cards as well. Kinda cool.
DeleteWe watched that movie Friendship at work. That Tim Robinson sure knows how to play cringe.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of that one before. I'm intrigued now.
