Ah, Allen & Ginter. Every year it causes baseball card collectors to froth from the mouth. Or at least it used to. I've been away for awhile. Does it still have that effect?
Anyway. I recently have started to go back through my binders and update my want lists. Seriously, it's been years since I've done so. Neglect, malaise, and of course, laziness have all contributed. So I started with Ginter. I figured that would be a nice easy transition than Topps' base stes with their bajillion inserts, parallels and variations. And short print variations with coloured borders and different backs. With serial numbers.
Ugh.
I purchased a few new cards online to fill in some holes in my binder. Still a ways to go. I thought I'd share a few here.
2006 Mike Kelly. Looking at my lists all these years, I thought it was this Mike Kelly. Imagine my surprise.
That's my kind of ball player.
Should any of you have any Ginter lying around that I might need, throw me a line. I probably won't have much to swap back... but you never know.

I'm going to check your want lists in a moment. I'd invite you to join in my Ginter bracket if you haven't seen it yet!
I'll check your lists when I get a moment.
Ginter excitement has calmed down quite a bit in the last few years. But there's enough enthusiasm when the new set hits.
I personally feel like A&G has run its course... but this is coming from a collector that has been bored with most of the stuff Topps releases these days. That being said... I did put in an order of A&G minis over at Sportlots that was inspired by Nachos Grande's A&G Mini Set Bracket.
