2020 Allen & Ginter Is Here, Folks

Love 'em or hate 'em, this year's Allen & Ginter cards are here, and I bought one of them there "blaster boxes" or whatever you call them. I was at one of my local card shops, and the masked fella behind the counter was telling another masked customer that they'd been selling like hotcakes, but he wasn't all that into them. Join the crowd, I guess. 

It's a funny series, the A&Gs. This year it's sprinkled with minis, as usual; has a bunch of long-tail celebrities included, most of whom have nothing to do with baseball; and there's even some inserts of rocks and large world cities like Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. That stuff goes right into the trade box - but good thing 2020 Allen & Ginter has baseball players as well, right? 

I was able to pull a few good ones. Just one Giant - Orlando Cepeda - but I just CardBarrel'ed the rest not ten minutes ago. I got this Bryce Harper insert - "Longball Lore" - that I have to admit looks pretty ace; there are several other tales of power-hitting youngsters as well in the series, but this is the only one I got in my seven packs. I did get quite a few of those rocks, though. Seriously, it's called "Digging Deep" and if you're looking for the Tanzanite or the Jade or the Pink Opal, Card Barrell has them all for 50 cents each here. 

Here are a few of the superior baseball players I was able to grab out of those 7 packs.
