Random Wax: 2024 Allen & Ginter

 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.

2024 Allen & Ginter

2024 A&G:  These hit our local shelves last week.  We'll kick it off with Red Sox great Wade Boggs.  He never played for the Yankees, just saying.  Okay maybe he did but I won't recognize that. He retired with a .328 career batting average and 3010 hits.  His last hit was in a Tampa Bay uniform.

The design is fine.  Not outstanding but it works for this brand.  

My rookie card pull.  Same basic design.

The back talks more to the dog show as opposed to Josh himself which was a bit disappointing.

I pulled two retired greats on my minis.  Pops is on a Gold Border Mini Parallel.

The backs are what we are used to.

That Jackie Robison is my Chrome insert.

For the Oregon Zoo inserts we get X-Rays of their animals.  These are actually pretty cool.  The front of the cards is made of plastic which work into the X-Ray theme.  I like them.  Was glad to see A&G hit the shelves.  Always fun.
