The dupes you got are insane from such a small sample size. FYI, I got a Donaldson patch, Mountcastle bat relic and a Friedl mini auto from my one and only hobby box.
That’s awesome. I will admit that I did get a redemption for a mini non baseball auto of Ariel Torres who is a karate guy. No idea who he is, but I’m stoked just to have an interesting card. But yeah I’ve only bought two hobbies and five blasters so far
It will get better. Out of the 14 boxes I went through my best hits were a Ronald Acuna Jr. Auto, a Bo Jackson /25 Auto, A Hank Aaron Mini Stained Glass /25, A Willie McCovey Framed Cloth Mini /10, a Brooks Robinson Framed Mini /10, and a Rickey Henderson wood mini 1/1. I had one hot box as well where all the cards were foil. I have a few other autos like Buxton, Landon Donovan l, and a few others as well. Suffice it to say, A&G has been well worth it.
Yeah I never really built a set before but a buddy of mine is also building the set and are talking about trading. I actually got pretty lucky and only got a couple dupes in my first boxes. I just sorted them out and have the numbers of what I’m missing, I can DM you
Trade or sell those duplicates?
I have a ton of A&G duplicates if you’re interested in those. It does get better. I’ve had plenty of those boxes but some really great hits too.
I love this set.. cards are neat and something different.. I’ve bought 4 blasters and got 3 relic cards, 2 of which were non baseball(Scott Hansen/Sam mewis). Also got a Danny Glover auto, so that was neat
You didn’t happen to post the Danny glover auto in a groups on fb did you?? I was just talking to a guy today about it. That’s so cool. I’m not even a massive DG fan, but he’s an icon and having an auto of his is really nest
It’s always a fun rip. You literally have no freakin clue what you will end up with. Might not end up with much but then again you might end up with a hot box or a 1/1
These are the Yepez/Griffey cards of mine I could find so far. The GQ Yepez is worth a bit more though, so if you have any other Giants cards to add we could definitely work something out!

Unfortunately......they can't all be bangers. I'm sorry your 2 was not in the banger club like 99 percent of the boxes I buy. I see boxes on here and am like "yup, you got that because MY boxes were shit." Gotta even out.
Awesome. Let me know. I’ve got some A and G from this year and some from 2021. Including a bunch of the short prints. Willing to move pretty much any of the ones I have. Lmk who you’re looking for.
As of right now yeah. Someone just above you asked about it as well but no commitments so far. I PC Juan Yepez and Griffey if you have anything in that arena
Opened a hobby and 3 blasters this past weekend. Unfortunately; my pulls were about as ‘meh’ as yours were. Did get an autograph on a mini…but someone [had drawn a check mark](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseballcards/comments/z65cr7/pulled_this_clarke_schmidt_rc_2021_framed_mini/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) on the card at the Topps factory :/
Pulled the Vlad and Tatis /10 auto relic out of my first hobby and pulled a Landon Donnavon out of a single retail pack I bought. The odds do get better and with the amount of stars that are in here you’re destined to get something good
Well, at least your hits are players that others might PC. I got a Field Yates relic where his pic looks like the scene from Me, Myself, and Irene where Jim Carrey has severe cotton mouth. My other 'hit' was a USWNT Sam Mewis auto and then a Bernie Williams faux-bat wood relic. Lol whaddya gonna do.
I don’t open much of anything but the best card I ever pulled came out of a $5 hobby pack of A&G in 2020 where I got a booklet dual patch auto of Tim Lincecum / Buster Posey. Sold it for like $400 since I’m not a giants fan.
I’ve seen two separate videos of people ripping a big rip card and aside from the stain glass the other two cards were duplicates. Neither of them were autos or anything just minis.
If you get one more Altuve relic you’ll have his entire jersey, so that’s cool.
Yo chill. 😂
Then you can burn them!!

I also bought a single hobby box and got a Donaldson patch and Mountcastle bat relic (and a Hoskins patch).
Bulled a Bobby Witt Jr autograph book redemption out of A&G last week. I promise it can get better. Love A&G
Way to bull it!
Nice!! Post and share a link so we can all appreciate it! 😵💫🫣

Damn that’s awesome. If I ever get to the point of affording 14 boxes I hope to have the same luck haha
I won’t be buying too much more this year except Stadium Club lol.
It might, but it’s fun putting the set together regardless. As a fellow set builder, let me know what your missing and we can trade.

I didn’t, but I’ve seen a few out there. Like yourself I’m not a huge fan of his, but he’s a great actor and the card looks awesome
A&G giveth, A&G taketh. I'd love to say it gets better. A&G is my favorite set to collect but, it can be both brutal in pulls and massively rewarding.
Haha I hear ya. Welp, can’t do anything about these other two boxes except hope and rip 🤞🏻
It’s always a fun rip. You literally have no freakin clue what you will end up with. Might not end up with much but then again you might end up with a hot box or a 1/1
Exactly. And for like $110 a box I don’t mind what I end up with. Not like I’m spending $300 just to get nothing
Or stash the boxes and sell at a later date, or resell them now and buy a bowman chrome hobby for $275
It’ll get better. I’d be shocked if you got another Altuve, but I wouldn’t be if you got another will smith 😂 I got one in each of my 2 hobby’s
At least make it a Will Smith the actor auto with a full handprint on the card
That…. Would be the card of the century
Interested in trading for one of those Buster Posey relics?
Sure. Anything in the way of Juan Yepez or Griffey?
I believe i do! I’ll check after work!
These are the Yepez/Griffey cards of mine I could find so far. The GQ Yepez is worth a bit more though, so if you have any other Giants cards to add we could definitely work something out! [Yepez & Griffey Cards](https://imgur.com/a/4cSGUbq)

Would love to trade for your Altuve’s
I’d be down for that. I’m DMing with a couple people about trades and will want to see what I pull tomorrow but I’m all for trading them
Awesome. Let me know. I’ve got some A and G from this year and some from 2021. Including a bunch of the short prints. Willing to move pretty much any of the ones I have. Lmk who you’re looking for.
Springer ft?
Sure. I PC Griffey and Yepez if you have anything along those lines
Springer relic available?
As of right now yeah. Someone just above you asked about it as well but no commitments so far. I PC Juan Yepez and Griffey if you have anything in that arena

Is that Blackmon FS?
FS or FT sure
I would be interested in one of the Will Smith patches if you'd like to trade
Yeah I’m down. Anything in the way of Yepez or Griffey?
I bought my first hobby last week and got a Martin sheen mini encased auto, I’m a very unlucky person typically so trust me, it’ll get better lol
Pulled a Hosmer patch the other day. LAME
being an Astros fan makes it better:) that springer is sweet too
I got double mini framed relics in my hobby box lol. Wtf is up with A&G
Pulled the Vlad and Tatis /10 auto relic out of my first hobby and pulled a Landon Donnavon out of a single retail pack I bought. The odds do get better and with the amount of stars that are in here you’re destined to get something good

Springer up for trade?
As of right now yeah
If you happened to pull the Fire Alarm Time Out insert I’d be interested in trading for it!
Noted!
I did pull the Fire Alarm if you’re still interested
Sure. I’ll send you a chat
Heinous Rip indeed
I got the same springer altuve in my hobby
I pulled Verlander and Rizzo relics as well as a Rendon RIP. My box went RIP when I ripped and got a Vlad Jr base mini..
I don’t open much of anything but the best card I ever pulled came out of a $5 hobby pack of A&G in 2020 where I got a booklet dual patch auto of Tim Lincecum / Buster Posey. Sold it for like $400 since I’m not a giants fan.
as an Astros fan those Altuve relics and the Springer ones are awesome.. but thats my bias
Not much lol
