Topps has released its 2013 Allen & Ginter last week with surprises inside packs and inside the actually box. Which I like the idea, but once again also can give a black eye on the hobby. Make sure when you buy those boxes, that the top doesn’t have creases in it. The box I review here had a crease along the top of the box but was wrapped and couldn’t have been tampered with but might have been felt up like a pack at a retail store. Here’s a look at some of the pulls from my box of 2013 Topps Allen & Ginter.

Awesome! This has been a fun product to pull. He bought a box and pulled a 1/1 double auto relic book…we are clueless on its value but you can see the card here…we were super excited! http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUSTER-POSEY-MATT-CAIN-2013-13-Allen-Ginter-Dual-Double-Auto-Patch-Book-1-1-/321198877167?pt=US_Baseball_Fan_Shop&hash=item4ac8f1e9ef
