Got a fat pack of this year's Topps Allen & Ginter during Black Friday. There are 14 cards and what silly inserts are in this.
14 - Curtis Mead
98 - Sal Frelick
122 - Jose Reyes
238 - Todd Radom - graphic designer who have created team logos
182 - Dylan Cease
202 - Mark Feinsand - MLB Executive Reporter
208 - Usain Bolt - the greatest sprint runner with long line of Olympic gold medals and world records
265 - Ryan Murphy - another Olympian, this time in swimming, with multiple medals
34 - Jose Tnea (chrome)
257 - Greg Attonito (Mini AG Back)
107 - Cal Raleigh (Mini Gold Border)
323 - Fred McGriff
Buz-4 - Carpenter Bee - Buzzin' insert card featuring bees
SOS-32 - Pineapple - Star of the Show insert set featuring dogs that won the best in show of The Westminster Kennel Club. I wish they mention what year it won
This pack got the usual quirky variety featuring baseball players, baseball reporters, graphic desginer, Olympians, and critters.

I can never figure out why, but I like Ginter cards so much more, later on, singly. When I have a whole bunch of them brand new all together they overwhelm me a little and I put them down. But 3 years later when I pick one up to admire with some other cards, they become a favorite.
Bolt wins it.
I've probably said this before, but I need to a post on A & G insert sets I would do if I was in charge.
I'm with Elliptical Man. The Bolt is my favorite.
This year's product made me wonder how many times they've done the same topic in an A&G insert. I charted them all out and found that there are several that have been done three times and a bunch of dupes. Problem is, it's a ton of information and I can't figure out how to present it concisely....
