Card: #214 Justin Bour


“ A&G as usual nice. It has been a few years since I've even tried to collect A&G sets. I have gotten tired of the mini parallels and hunting for those. My only real beef with the sets is after the 15 or 16 years it is getting difficult to identify A&Gs by year. Many similar designs and to be honest many limitations to any designs. They need to keep them resembling the original late 19th Century A&G cards. ” -captkirk42

“ I think I'm over A&G base sets. Fun, novel concept for a while, but the backs are annoying, and the non-sport entries arent interesting people anymore. The insert and mini insert sets are still fun though. ” -switzr1

“ I don't mind Allen & Ginter, but their designs are too similar and boring each year for me to go hardcore with em. ” -suomibear8

“ Suggestion to those still putting out really, really old-timey cards (A&G, Goudey, etc.)--put the players in really, really old-timey uniforms. Surely you have enough pull with MLB to get something like that green-lighted. ” -kents_stuff

“ Started getting into these this year and I really like them. ” -muskie027

I enjoy the visual aesthetic of A&G.  But the sets are so difficult to build I don't pay any attention to them each year.

Feels like it would look better as a poster rather than trading card.

I absolutely love the way A&G cards feel in my hands.
