My brother, the non-contributing contributor to this blog offered a proposition. Lets split a box of 2008 Topps Allen & Ginter and sell anything we don't want. I was up for it but warned that we probably wouldn't make any of our money back. But that isn't really the point, is it? He secured the box from an ebay seller for $86 including shipping.
We met on Monday to divvy the packs and rip away. Here a few highlights and lowlights of out box.
We were hoping for a nice N43 card but we got this lousy history cabinet card.Not a great start but I was still excited. The first card out of a pack was this Catastrophe on Cardboard (I haven't done one of those post since the early days). I can't decide who was more disappointed: My brother for pulling this card, Dan for losing so many races where he was the favorite, or Dan's mother for seeing her son in that outfit.


My favorite card in my half of the box was this Christy Mathewson mini. It looks great and will go well with my T-206 Mathewson I bought when I was a kid. The Minty Beans card is pretty sweet too. I am not going to try and figure out the code but I am definitely a Team Orange fan.


Apologies to Cueto, Kershaw, Wright, Picasso, and that Rubik's cube champ. Your cards were nice too!

Wow! This was our favorite vicarious 2008 A&G box break! Plus, the He Ain't Heavy element lifts it to greatness.
