Thanks to all of the forum users who directly or indirectly have given such wonderful advice to a collector who is rejoining the active roster after a 20 year layoff. Though I gave the Topps flagship and other issues serious consideration, I keep getting drawn back to Allen & Ginter. Yesterday I was shopping with my son and came across a blaster of 2013 A&G and could not stop myself. While I didn't pull anything rare or #'d, I did get my first relic, which really excited me. This was my second blaster, and I continued to be very pleased with all the cards (including non-baseball) and cannot wait until I am able to purchase a couple of hobby boxes (waiting to start a new job, and get a few paychecks under my belt). Below are some of my favorites that I pulled.

What are you looking for? I broke a box yesterday and I'm looking to unload all of it.
Yay! Great choice! There are tons of A&G set collectors which makes set building a fun experience. Bust a box or two and then hit the trading circuit.
Which aspect of the set are you going to focus on? Base, mini, relic, auto?
Whatever you decide, have fun!

It is hard to say at this point as I have only opened two blasters. Right now I plan on focusing on base, though I cannot say for sure where I end up, as it depends on what I pull from any further boxes that I purchase. Unfortunately I have to wait a few weeks due to lack of income, and really have very little in way of trade stock. I am excited about the prospect of trading, though I am sure I will need help in getting up and running in that as I am a complete novice when it comes to on-line tradeing.
When you get everything organized just shoot me a message on what base cards you still need. No charge, Ill send them your way.

Thanks, it will probably be at least two to three weeks before I am able to do that, so don't hold onto anything just for me.
