So today is a big day for me, it's release day for my (usually) favorite set of the year: Allen & Ginter. It's also a bit bittersweet this year because it appears that Gint-a-Cuffs isn't going to happen. If you don't know, Gint-a-Cuffs has been an annual contest on the blogs where the best box wins (here "best" is determined by a set of crazy, twisted rules). I never actually won the contest, but simply participating added another level of fun while opening up my boxes of Allen & Ginter.
The other bummer for me this year is that I could only afford to buy four boxes of Ginter. In fact, those four boxes are the first hobby boxes of any 2017 product that I have bought for myself this year...so at least I will have something to rip (I'm impatiently waiting for UPS to deliver my boxes as I type this up).
Anyhow, long story short: I do still plan on trying to collect the full Allen & Ginter base set, plus all of the inserts (regular sized and mini sized). Therefore, as you start to open up your packs of Allen & Ginter, please keep me in mind for any inserts you don't want. I'd love to work out some trades in the near future (and I should have some duplicates myself to trade away).
That's it for now...all I can do is wait for my boxes...

I'm not a big fan of A&G, and haven't ever opened more than an occasional pack, but I enjoyed reading all the Gint-A-Cuffs posts and I'll miss them.
ReplyDeleteI say we should just GAC our boxes and give it our own score. Cuz why the hell not?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize we haven't had any "Here comes GAC" post yet until you mentioned it. I've only participated once, but it was quite fun. I actually wouldn't mind being the commissioner for GAC in 2018 and bringing the contest back if I could get a little help from Topps on the prize and Mark Aubrey's blessing.
ReplyDeleteMark Aubrey just updated the Gint-a-Cuffs Facebook page with a reference to the 2017 set.
ReplyDeleteHe also posted a call for entries on the GAC blog. If he gets enough interest, he'll put together a list for this year's points.
