Gint A Cuffs Recap!

I have completed my point posts (feel free to check my math) and decided to do a nice little wrap up post.

First here are the scans for the back of the minis. I learned my lesson for next year. I will scan the backs of every mini with the pack!

The rarest one I hit was the Alex Rodriguez. It's a short print A&G back. He is possibly the most hated man in baseball since someone else everyone hated in baseball. I won't be collecting any mini sets so if someone wants to swap me the Phillies minis for any of those cards please drop me a line!

The Jason Dufner is pretty cool considering he just won the PGA Championship! Can't say I watch much golf but I do have a mean mini golf stroke.

 

I got the expected 12 Short Prints. I get the whole set chase thing but there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why certain players are short prints. If there is someone please enlighten me. Just seems like Topps picked random guys to insert one every 2 packs. 

One Little Corner is the favorite insert set. We already bought the whole set off ebay. So these three are for trade, Haumera, Pluto (it was still a planet when I was in school!) and Uranus (haha)! The three Civilizations of Ages Past cards are the Mayans, Swahili and Olmecs. And the three Palaces and Strongholds I received are The Bastille, Taj Mahal and Forbidden City. The Taj Mahal used to be a pretty cool casino back in the day. 

Honestly the inserts don't do a ton for me as a whole. I get why people like the oddness of Ginter but it feels the same as Goodwin.. and thats why I don't buy Goodwin. 

Here are the rest of the inserts I pulled. Not a bad mix of Across the Years. I like the concept more then last year's large insert set.

Here is the three hits! I really liked the framed relics. They look nice! I wish they wouldn't have replaced one of the framed relic hits with just a normal one.

Overall, I really enjoyed opening some wax and scoring for Gint a Cuffs! I love me some competition even if it is mostly luck of the draw (or maybe I love gambling ehh either way!)

As usual all the non Phillies are for trade, the Maury Wills and Puig base card have been claimed so I am holding them aside unless the deal doesn't work out (although I'm confident it will).

Hope everyone enjoyed seeing my Ginter box!

Thanks for reading!
