2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball
BIG PULLS – Top Ginter Cards To Hit eBay During 1st Week of Release
Topps Allen & Ginter is always one of the most anticipated Baseball products each year, as collectors have been captivated by the quirky set since it made it’s debut back in 2006. No other Baseball set has such a diverse checklist of non-sport cards that catch the interest of collectors young and old. Ginter is a mid-priced product which make many of the cards affordable to the average spender. Some of the 1/1 cards, and the Stephen Strasburg cards in the 2010 edition will command a premium when they are at auction on eBay. Here are a few of the top cards that have made their way onto the market during the 1st week 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter went live June 30.
2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Stephen Strasburg MINI RC 401
Sold For: $1,500.00
July 1, 2010
The Stephen Strasburg mini cards have caused quite a stir in the hobby. Initially, it was thought that these cards would be inserted like any other mini card. Instead, Topps announced that the cards were super short printed making some collectors who ripped through product early a little miffed, and angry. One reportedly spent upwards of $20,000 on cases and did not hit one Strasburg Mini.
Topps has yet to release a print run, but 16 auctions had been completed by July 1st. Sales ranged from $475 – $1,500.00

The Rip Cards are one of the big reasons why Allen & Ginter is so unique. These Hobby Exclusive cards feature a mini card trapped inside and it’s up to you to decide to open it up or not. The mini cards can have autographs or a limited parallel card. This Matt Holliday auction features an unripped back and was bought using the buy it now option.

Tony Hawk 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter SP Autograph AUTO
Sold For: $165.00
June 30, 2010
One of the most interesting cards when Topps released information about Ginter back in February was the Tony Hawk Framed Autograph Card. Hawk is known worldwide as a pioneer in the sport of skateboarding and it’s not a surprise that the sales of his Ginter Autograph have been in the triple digits.
2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Silk Albert Pujols 02/10
Sold For: $149.00
July 1, 2010
The Allen & Ginter Silk cards have been a favorite among collectors especially when a big name is on the front. Albert Pujols is one of the biggest names in the game and his 2010 Allen & Ginter Silk card was the highest selling Silk card to hit eBay thus far.
These unique cards feature a mini piece of silk that has the picture of the Ginter card on it. It makes for a stunning piece and you’ll want to try and get one if you collect a certain player.
2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Jason Heyward Sp Autograph
Sold For: $127.50
July 1, 2010
In a normal season, Jason Heyward would be the biggest rookie in the game. He had a spectacular debut when he clubbed a 3-Run HR, and has played well since then. But Stephen Strasburg mania has taken over and Heyward has to take a backseat. Topps included a short printed Framed Autograph in 2010 Ginter and so far sales have been well above the $100.00 mark.
