Some pretty good names in that group of cards. There were other color bordered in the Ginter set beyond the red. The black bordered minis, which are always the most common, look really nice this year. In putting together my base set, I almost always put together a team set of black bordered minis for the Cardinals and Rays. Here's a look at what these cards look like in this year's Ginter set....
I pulled a Lackey black border out of my box, which will make putting together the Cardinals team set a little bit easier, but these cards are not hard to find and not very expensive. Most of the time I can find most of the team set for a few dollars on Ebay, or COMC. I like the design of the black cards this year. The design around the edges of the card are a little less heavy feeling.
I also pulled a Ginter flag card from my box. I pulled a copy of the Hank Aaron version of this card last year and completely missed it because I was not looking for these when I opened my box. This year I turned over all of the minis as I went through and I opened the box. Kind of makes me wonder how many of these I have missed over the years? Hmmm. Might need to go back through some boxes. Anyway, this year I pulled Greg Holland and promptly traded it away to a Royals fan who was annoyed by their ownership of a Cardinals card.
Lots of cool mini inserts too. I like those Hoist the Black Flag cards on the right side. Might have to make that one of the non-sport sets that I put together this year. Wonder if any of these pirates are in the set?
