Frequently asked
What makes 2020 Allen & Ginter different from other Topps baseball sets?
Allen & Ginter is known for its eclectic checklist that goes way beyond baseball. You'll find non-baseball personalities, pop culture figures, and themed inserts like farm equipment, precious gems, and skyscrapers. It's rooted in the look and feel of vintage tobacco cards from over a century ago.
How many hits does a hobby box contain?
Every hobby box delivers three hits, which can be autographs, relics, or Rip Cards. The exact mix isn't specified, so you could pull any combination of those three categories.
What are Rip Cards and why do collectors care about them?
Rip Cards are oversized cards with exclusive mini cards sealed inside. You have to decide whether to keep the card intact or tear it open to see what's inside. They come in three forms: basic (one mini inside), dual (two minis), and boxloader (three minis, randomly inserted in hobby boxes). Rip Cards are rare, appearing only twice per case.
What's the deal with Stained Glass Minis?
Stained Glass Minis are a partial parallel covering 150 cards with 25 copies each. Due to a production error, all of them ended up in boxloader Rip Cards instead of regular packs, so you won't find them in standard hobby packs.
What mini parallels are available in hobby packs?
Hobby packs include regular minis, Allen & Ginter Minis (1:5 packs), Black Border (1:10 packs), No Number (50 copies), Brooklyn Back (/25), Framed Mini Printing Plates (1/1), Glossy (1/1), and Wood (1/1, hobby-exclusive). Short prints have their own rarity tiers.
Are there any rookie cards to chase in this set?
Yes, Kyle Lewis has a rookie card in the base set. The product also features many other rookies across its 350-card checklist, and boxloader autographs often highlight top prospects and young players.
What's the base set size and are there short prints?
The base set is 350 cards total, with cards 301-350 being short prints inserted at 1:2 packs. Short prints don't have Silver Portrait parallel versions, which are exclusive to hot boxes.
How does the retail version differ from hobby?
Retail boxes have 24 packs of 6 cards each (vs. hobby's 24 packs of 8 cards). Retail packs include Gold Border Minis (five per value pack), which are exclusive to retail. Retail doesn't have access to hobby-exclusive items like Wood minis, Framed Mini Cloth, or certain relic types.
What are the best inserts in 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Framed Mini Autographs, Rip Cards (2 per case), Stained Glass Minis, A Debut to Remember, Reach for the Sky, Allen & Ginter Boxloaders.
