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.
BREAKDOWN:
14 – Total Cards
6 – Retired Greats
3 – RC
2 – Mini
1 - Chrome
1 – Gold Border Mini
I need to get some of those xray cards in hand!
ReplyDeleteThey are cool for what they are.
DeleteA. Love seeing dogs on baseball cards.
ReplyDeleteB. Nice Gwynn.
C. I was so bummed that Boggs signed with the Yankees.
Any Red Sox great going to New York is a real downer.
DeleteLedecky wins it.
ReplyDeleteShe's worth the pick.
DeleteGenerally not a big A&G fan, but I enjoyed this years set.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad look at all.
DeleteI don't usually pick up A&G unless it is individual cards for my various collections as I can find them in bargain boxes. I do want to be on the lookout for the Katie Ledecky card.
ReplyDeleteI'll throw it in your pile.
