Rip Cards

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:28:16 +0000

Rip cards are a big reason that Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball card products are as popular as they are today. Topps first pioneered rip cards in their debut release of 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball and hasn't look back since. Every Allen and Ginter Set produced by Topps has included rip card inserts. These unique inserts have become synonomous with the Topps Allen & Ginter brand name, and add a great level of depth to the product. Each year thousands of Allen and Ginter collectors pull these inserts and are presented with the dilemma, "To rip or not to rip?"

The premise of the rip card is simple enough. Each rip card contains a special mini insert card hidden within. In order to get to the insert, you must rip through the outer card and pull it out.

There are several potential pulls hidden within rip cards, including:

Mini Short Prints (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) - Short Printed Mini cards that are found exclusively in rip cards.

Mini Auto Short Prints (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) - These highly sought after Mini Short Prints that feature red ink autographs.

Allen & Ginter Tobacco Cards (2006) - Original Allen & Ginter Tobacco Cards that have been purchased by Topps on the second hand market.

Dick Perez Original Sketch Cards (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) - Rare 1 of 1 sketch cards that feature original artwork from legendary sports artist Dick Perez.

Mini Wood Parallels (2007, 2008, 2009) - Mini card parallels that are made of real wood. Each is a 1 of 1.

Framed Autographs

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:22:48 +0000

Framed Autograph inserts have become one of the backbones of Topps Allen & Ginter products. Topps put their own spin on Allen & Ginter by inserting Framed Autographs, as the original tobacco sets did not contain any signed cards.

What differentiates Topps Allen & Ginter Autographed Cards from autographs in other sets is the depth and variety of the subjects featured in their autograph checklists. The majority of the cards are baseball player autographs, but there are a substantial amount of autographs from non-baseball and non-sports subjects as well. These tend to be the most valuable and sought after autographs of them all.

There are two primary types of Allen & Ginter Autographs:

Allen & Ginter Superstars (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) : Includes athletes from sports other then baseball, record holders, well known coaches, politicians, and historical figures.

Allen & Ginter Baseball (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009): MLB Star and Semi Star Autographs. The only set in which these autographs were numbered was 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter.

Allen & Ginter Framed Original Tobacco Cards

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:00:36 +0000

Yet another of Topps Allen & Ginter's strong lineup of inserts, Framed Original Cards are, as the name implies, original Allen & Ginter tobacco cards. Topps purchased these original Allen & Ginter tobacco cards from the second hand market for distribution in their Allen & Ginter Products. After purchasing them, Topps placed them in the typical Allen & Ginter style card frame. The reason for doing this is two fold. First, it protects these rare and valuable trading cards from getting damaged. It also makes the Allen & Ginter

Original Buybacks easier to store and display by bringing the total dimensions of the card to the standard sports card size of 2.5" x 3.5".

Much to the disappointment of baseball card collectors, Topps discontinued the insertion of original Allen & Ginter tobacco cards in their 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter set.

Framed Original tobacco cards can be found in the following Topps Allen & Ginter baseball card sets: 2006, 2007, 2008.

Topps Allen & Ginter mini base cards are smaller parallel variations of regular sized Allen and Ginter base cards. In addition to the standard nini parallels their are a number of Mini Card variations including black bordered mini cards, short printed mini cards that feature Allen & Ginter ads on the backs, mini cards without card numbers, and Bazooka Minis that are typically hand numbered in very limited quantities.

Many of the insert sets in Topps Allen & Ginter also have mini card parallels, or are distributed exclusively in mini card form. One of the most recent examples of a popular Topps Allen & Ginter insert set that is available exclusively in mini card

Allen & Ginter Tobacco Cards

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:09:09 +0000

Allen & Ginter trading cards were the first of the tobacco era baseball cards ever produced for distribution on a national level. Tobacco Cards, so named because they were distributed in conjunction with cigarette and other tobacco based products in the late 1800's / early 1900's, are the most valuable baseball cards in circulation. Graded Allen and Ginter tobacco cards have become especially popular investments among collectors.

Although Allen and Ginter's late 1800's non-sports trading cards are popular in their own right, its Allen and Ginter's tobacco baseball cards that have drawn the most interest, and subsequently, the highest auction prices.
