The cards in the Allen & Ginter buybacks look a lot nice than these old creased Topps cards. I ended up pulling two of the buybacks from my box of Allen & Ginter. The first is a Edwin Jackson. It's a pretty nice card and Edwin was a member of both the Durham Bulls and Cardinals, so it's a card that fits well in my collection....
My other buyback is a really nice card too. It's a mini from the 2009 Allen & Ginter of former Dodgers catcher Russell Martin. I like Martin as a player, but I also like the looks of this card with the gold frame around it.
Sharp looking card. Overall, some of these cards are selling really well on Ebay and I have seen quite a few people trying to track down these buybacks. In some cases some collectors are shelling out some serious dollars and trade offers to land these cards. I will do a little non-Ginter blogging at some point tomorrow about some on one of my favorite sets with buyback cards.
Anybody have a cool buyback autograph in their collection?
No buybacks, but I have that Jesus Alou card
ReplyDeleteProbably in a lot better shape. I have another copy I bought from the quarter box at Southtown Sluggers.
DeleteIf you're not married to the Lum buyback I'm collecting any '75 buybacks I can get my hands on.
