Question on Allen & Ginter Wood cards

njlw226 said:

Quick question: each base card in Ginter also has a 1/1 wood mini...are these cards all in rip cards or are they inserted into packs like normal minis? The checklists I've seen everywhere says that 50 mini exclusive wood cards will be in rip cards, but I believe those are the minis numbered 351-400.

Reason I'm asking: I'm the 2009 Ginter Code champ and I'm trying to collect all 12 variations of my card, which will be #165 when it is released in a couple weeks!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not an insult in any way, but you should be the cheapest of all of the Wood parallels. Unless of course you get into a bidding war with family and/or friends.

None taken! I just worry that someone knows how badly I want it so they will hold on to it just to get more money or cards out of me.

Grace - exactly what I was wondering - thanks! I was worried it might end up in a rip card somewhere that never gets ripped!

Instead of congratulating the guy who is pretty new to the boards, or offering advice, you're wearing blinders.

Blinders? Really?

Did the OP feel this way? Doubtful. He is inquiring about how he'll be able to acquire this card, and I'm offering advice.

Perhaps you should relax, and maybe take a lavender bath and hold some crystals.

The mini cards 1-350 are inserted into packs, they wil take the place of the mini in the pack. Cards 351-400 are
found ONLY in rip cards and are not numbered 1/1 on the back.

I suggest you swallow your pride and go all out on any card you want from ginter, especially the plates and
the wood. They will go for high prices because it is one of the most highly collected sets out there. You can
always go out and make more money or sell more cards, if you are cheap now, you might risk losing a card
forever in private collections that will never see the light of day again.

I would also suggest NOT to come on the boards and advertise that you are looking for certain cards. I can tell you that
a low percentage of people here will hold that against you if they wind up pulling it and then selling it. I would scan
ebay, the blowout boards and FCB several times a day to make sure you don't miss anything. If you are serious
about getting this set, and if I was on a card I would be very serious, then you have to come strong, have cash and
have good trade. Like I said you might not get another chance!

Are you sure Kevin?

I think this year minis are 352-400. I sure hope so at least as topps twitter stated Strasburg was #351 base mini and not a mini exclusive.

Lol, thanks, you read my mind...I don't need any advice on buying Ginter or selling/trading cards. I'm not a newbie at collecting, I just had no clue how the wood cards were seeded in the product.
