2012 Allen & Ginter

Ever since Dan @ It's like having my own Card Shop! got me back into cards, I have loved the look of both Gypsy Queen and A&G. With the official launch today, I was very excited to get a few packs. I went to Wal-Mart, but it seemed that the retail blaster boxes, and the rack packs did not have odds for anything other than short prints. They also had packs for $4.25 for 6 cards so I quickly called the LCS and they were larger packs for $5. I decided to go over there to pick up a couple packs and I was pretty disappointed.

See that abomination to the far left? I wanted to make sure I spread that out far enough for everyone to see. That junk was a pack that had 2 current player cards which were both a CC Sabathia insert and mini. I was pretty bummed to say the least. The next pack had both the Hudson and Andrus Relic card in it. I felt so disappointed with the 1st pack that the relic was not even a pleaser.

Brad Zeigler was also at the Card Shop, which is weird because I was just talking to Dan about him. I guess he is friends with the owner who ships all of Zeigler's stuff. He only buy's high end stuff, and apparently just bought 2 bat knob cards. I did not talk to him or anything, but it was cool hearing him talk out loud about his new cards, and his passion.
