Year: 2011

Set: Topps Allen & Ginter (Rate)

Card: #349 Yuniesky Betancourt


“ Year after year there is no "funner" product than Allen and Ginter. No Position? A hit per game player , nice stats 785 hits in 810 games . ” -baseballcardstoreca

“ When these first came out I loved them. The painted look, though I bet they were just photoshopped to look that way. The vintage look. There have now been 14 years of Topps Allen and Ginter, there were only 2 years of the ACTUAL Allen and Ginter. ” -davidhandberry

“ one of the more palatable A&G designs ” -parsley24

“ I have always liked A&G. The 2011 design was a big departure from the "standard" A&G design with the border lines, block surrounding the brand name and the team logo. Back completely standard A&G. ” -captkirk42

“ I don't love the location of the name, but maybe that's partially a result of the longer last name. There's something about Allen & Ginter that's unique, but I'm not interested in collecting it on a yearly basis. ” -vanstryland

“ NAF - not a fan ” -NJDevils

“ Some of the Allen & Ginter stuff has such a cool look. I've really come around on these, just like Heritage, over the years. ” -muskie027

Would this be one of those coincidences that the RCOTD is when the Brewers just announced yesterday the they are "redesigning" their logo to go back to the old ball and glove and Yuni B in a Brewer uniform is featured?

Ginters I used to like esp non-MLB cards I did the set of the Dinos from 2010 Minis my nephew at the time loved em (dinos) when he was young. I also did the Flags of All Nations and National Mini Animals but those minis are hard to find now. Topps has a way of re-vamping some old brands to make em new again. 

Now that they seem to be a mainstay I am not as impressed w them, simliar to Holiday.

Clean and simple look on the front with an "old-time" style to the back. Nice set overall.
