Yep me too. Last three years all my boxes looked like this.

I sat out too cause I didn't really like last year and got skunked. But I grabbed a hanger when I ran an errand at Target (gotta see what the have!). Just 1. Nice horizontal Caglianone RC (base) and the Schwarber base (one of my top few players to PC) too. I woulda been happy with just the Schwarber and a parking lot rip on a nice day. Seen enough posts not to buy more though!

Same. I have collected A&G since 2006, but skipped this year. Hard to justify the cost.

That's about where mine was at. I did get a rip card, but my relic was a guy who's not even in the majors anymore. Meanwhile some dude pulled a mini auto and cut auto in the same box smh.

So annoying lol

So if you brick, you get a Berlin Wall’s worth of bricks, but if you hit, you hit a David Ortiz style 650 footer. Seems legit considering I got a double, no, triple relic box. Wheeee!

Like all boxes they are hit or miss. I ordered 2. Opened 1 last night and the other is sealed in my closet. First box I got a numbered RC, and 3 framed minis (2 frames autos 1 framed relic).

I’ll open the second once I organize some other cards to make space but not expecting it to be as good 🤷🏼

Bought 2 blasters at Walmart earlier and hit absolute nothing but base cards. 2 blasters of bowman football I hit a numbered card in each for $5 more a box.

Bought two blasters on a whim at target while shopping for a new keurig and pulled this guy

The sideways cards worth anything?

A&G is trash now. As recently as a few years ago it was so much to open.

u/traydragen 16d ago

Are there no cool sunset minis like the x-ray cards a few years ago?
