I was initially a fan of the popups in GQ, but once I got one in hand it was underwhelming. Putting the guy in the middle here is distracting with the crease. They could do some really cool things with this idea if they tried. Like, how about a panoramic photo of a ballpark across both leaves, with the popup being the park outline, die-cut in the proper shape?

Great post and can totally put myself in your shoes and feeling that way once getting one of these in hand. I think your ballpark idea is excellent though, surprised they didn't think of that as well.

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 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.
