Yea, as a player collector this has to be so frustrating because you know some of them are in landfills somewhereI hate to think of the 2013 Frank Thomas glossy 1of1 in a landfill somewhere.
Wow, now that's a freaking cool site tracking it. I mean it can't know of them all unless they show up on a board or social media or eBay but still cool.I tracked this set and found 148 of the 350 card checklist over the course of the year.

There were plenty of good cards that never surfaced, including Thomas.
Did you, or anyone you know of, also track the wood 1/1 minis from 2013 Ginter? If distribution of both 1/1 sets was the same (were woods hobby only?), and we knew how many woods were pulled, we could get a ballpark estimate of how many glossys were thrown out.

man I hate the ebay word spamming!
I created searches for the A&G relics I want and been getting a lot of results for cases, packs, boxes, etc. rather than an actual relic card. drives me nuts!
btw, what is that that Nolan Ryan is supposed to have inscribed on his card that was posted here a few posts back? I must be dense to not be able to figure it out.

I don't know how anyone could NOT rip a single or double rip card. I mean the odds are pretty good that you'll get something much greater than the rip card in mint... not to mention that you cans till keep the rip card after ripping, it is a PC item anyways most likely.Wooden minis are found both in rip cards and loose as a mini in packs.
:???:FYI...the 1/1 sketches are damaged. The white 'texture' is NOT supposed to be there. I emailed Brian Kong ( artist) directly and he confirmed this. He is looking into it with Topps. horrible to see something like this happen.
This is hilarious! Haha true "hot pack"Ok so these metal 1/1 cards are found in rip cards. "magnet sticks to it" lol easy way to see if you have a metal mini.

This year might be strongest A&G set since I started collecting again (well after the legendary 2006 set came out). My box had a Snoop Lion relic that, sadly, wasn't a blunt wrapper, and an auto of Jenny Dell's cans. I wanted to pull a Bourdain relic or auto (my girlfriend and I watch his shows religiously), but no luck, but picked up the relic for $10 on a BIN.
I also got a completely blank mini, no printing on front or back. I can't decide if it's a mistake, or a wierd A&G gimmick.
