Don't think I saw this posted...

Looks pretty awesome, I always like Ginter so can't wait for this one. Looks like they listened to our thread where someone suggested the Manny auto.

that is a great auto checklist IMO

Kudos to Topps for getting Manny Pacquiao into the auto set! That will be a HUGE pull

Weimer · Mar 1, 2011

Looks fantastic.

MUCH better auto checklist........With those names how many redemptions?

I want the Stan Lee autograph. Even though I already have Stan's auto, that will command some mad money! Even though he always looks and sounds pretty vibrant, Stan's in his 80's, and won't be around forever.

autos/relics look fantastic with the blue border!

base cards do not even look like A&G however.

easily the ugliest base cards in Ginter's short history. gold bordering and all that crap at the bottom takes away from the appeal of these cards.

Please take note, Charlie likes part of something Topps has mocked-up :shock:

A_Pharis · Mar 1, 2011

I like it.

I just hope their editing is consistent.

Look at the Manny auto. See how his elbow is cut off on the left side at the red line? Looking at the other examples, none of them are chopped off there.

Also, are the state relics die-cut?

The booklets look amazing as always.

"along with diecut cabinet cards that form a map of the United States". Unless they are super-rare, or even if they are, I'm betting they will be the surprise chase set. Who wouldn't want to make that map? The big states like Texas, California, New York, or Illinois will have lots of people chasing them. I wonder how they do Hawaii or Alaska? How many Rhode Islands will be thrown out as scrap?

I predict that Manny auto will be $1K out of the gate!

Loongoria

Come on, Beckett, learn how to spell.

The base set looks atrocious. Everything else looks awesome

Is that card for the snapdragon a seed packet? It says to "Watch it grow."

padremurph · Mar 1, 2011

I just hope Latos has an auto or is at least in the base set.

Gellman · Mar 1, 2011

AAAAWWWW snap, Mauer finally gets a Ginter auto? Im going to be all over that like Charlie Sheen on a mountain of coke.

schmidtfan20 · Mar 1, 2011

Could that Josh Hamilton be an insert set and not the base set? Man that hurts the eyes!

I've seen business cards that have seeds embedded in the cardstock that the card was printed on. You basically just put the whole card in the ground and it'll grow flowers of some sort. The grain and color of that type of business card looks similar to that of the Flora of the World cards. What I'm wondering is if the seeds in the cardstock are those of the flower featured on the card.

"Holy cannoli, you're John McEnroe!"

Looks great, the blue bordered autos look a heck of a lot better than the red ones...

markakis8 · Mar 1, 2011

If the Hamilton is indeed a base card, it isn't that bad. Everyone is just used to border-less. They should've stuck with their original plan and stayed border-less, but it's not godawful ugly.
