Great now bugs and Salt in our card packs Thanks UD.

[WoundedDuck]

What a complete and utter rip-off of A&G. That being said - it does look like a lot of fun!

+1

I couldn't feel any more the same

 

[Anthony K.]

I know it may sound nuts.... especially on this board. But id buy a case of this before Id try a case of Bowman Chrome. :shock:

+1

+2

I am starting to like A&G more and more every year.

Hopefully I can grab a few boxes of this stuff (or 09 Topps A&G...waiting on a little bonus before I decide).

 

[chuckbartowski]

I could probably track down some volcano dust for the product

 

[KCBeltranFan]

I wonder when they'll start inserting pieces of Barry Bonds' career. :shock:

 

[zep33]

As a Ginter faithful, I have to say, I'm extremely excited about this product and will be ripping it if at all in my power.

me too Ross

 

[Adamsince1981]

I love it and can't wait....I haven't won much Allen & Ginter so far, but it offers something to be excited about.

I'm sure UD will put out a product close to A&G as far as the checklist is concerned.

 

[Weimer]

This looks pretty awesome. I want to bust some but won't have any money to do so.

 

[Casebusters]

the jeter and MJ autos look sweet...i like the cap anson graded tobacco card too of course!

once again i say, im buying SPORTS cards for SPORTS players...not butterflies, coal, tusks, etc. oh well if i pulled one id definitely try to flip on on ebay to someone that im sure would want it badly just so i could use that money to buy more SPORTS cards!

I have a new collector that only wants non-sports cards from the sports products,
like A&G mini insert sets & he is also trying to get the complete set of the 20th century (because of the non sports cards) just doesnt want memorabilia cards..

[Lars]

Are the buybacks actually graded or is UD just showing us an idea of where the cards are coming from?

I like how the buybacks are graded.

 

[Card Magnet]

Thanks for posting this. I'd like to give them a shot when they hit.

Atleast someone agrees with me

 

[Rudzud]

I would rip ALOT of this product

I'm assuming it will be $100+ per box.

I would LOVE an entamology card.

Also, keep in mind, alot of the landmark relics could be found in much bigger portions on ebay or from reputable dealers for ALOT less.
