2024 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball is probably exactly what you’d expect if you’ve been following the brand for any amount of time. It’s another edition of “anything goes” with baseball players past and present mixing on the checklist with everything from celebrities, other athletes, yummy snacks and nature. Once again, hobby boxes deliver three hits including autographs, memorabilia cards, other relics, rip cards or original Allen & Ginter cards from more than a century ago. The base set has the customary 350 cards, the final 50 of which are short prints. At every other hobby pack, they’re not rare but it does make building a full set a little more challenging. As far as players go, it’s a broad mix of veterans, rookies and retired players. But wait, there’s more. It’s Allen & Ginter so that means some non-baseball people including athletes from other sports, actors, musicians, Suvivor hosts and more. Parallels come in several forms. Many, though, are in a Mini format mimicking the original Allen & Ginter tobacco cards from the late 1800s. Select cards also have some rare minis including Stained Glass, Cloth and Wood. New to the main Allen & Ginter line this year are Chrome cards. These take 100 base cards and give them a metallic makeover for both standard and mini sizes. Both also have additional Refractors. The main source of signatures are framed Mini Baseball Autographs. More than 150 players are available so it’s a big list. Like the base set, it’s a mix of past and present. In addition to these are more than 50 Mini Non-Baseball Autographs. Signers this year include Usain Bolt, Chuck Norris, Jeff Probst and Danielle Fishel who played Topanga on Boy Meets World. Cut Signatures, Cut Signature Relics and Autographed Relic Book cards are among the other places on the 2024 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball checklist to find signed cards.
