2020 Allen & Ginter Baseball

 2020 Allen & Ginter Baseball:  Game 1 of the Braves-Dogers series starts tonight so some baseball seems appropriate for today.  I'm not a huge A&G fan but I do like some of the aesthetics and feel of the cards.  Don Mattingly is the manager of the Miami Marlins who were just won their first playoff series since their last championship in 2003.  It was also their first playoff appearance since '03. 

My pull wasn't the strongest but still some fun players.  Tim Anderson led the league in runs this year and batted .322 after leading the league in batting last year.

There were a total of 5 RC cards in these packs.  There were four packs in the value pack - three regular packs and one with gold parallels.

Retired greats fit in so well on these old designs.  Darin Erstad was so good and part of the only Angels championship team. 

The non-sport inclusions in these are always fun but I'm usually left a little wanting with these.  

I like the Debut to Remember inserts.

The old parallels look pretty natural with this set and might even look better.  Pretty good ones right here with A-A-Ron and Catfish Hunter.  This was a surprise find and I'm glad to have a chance to look at these in hand.  I won't go looking for more of these but go for some individual players.
