2025 Topps Allen and Ginter

In early December 2025, the 2025 Topps Allen and Ginter was released. I normally buy this product. Sometimes, I buy hobby packs. Someitmes, I tried a blaster box as well.

 

For me, it’s an interesting brand and you can find something fun or something unexpected. For example, you can see some celebrity cards. A few days after this product was released, I went to a sports card shop and found some blaster boxes available. After chatting with the card shop owner, I decided to buy a blaster box of this product.

I’m trying to see if I could find something interesting this time.

For me, it’s quite fun to open some packs of the 2025 Topps Allen and Ginter. I found a Nick Kurtz rookie card in this blaster box and it’s a good card. Moreover, there are 2 chrome cards in the box. And one of the chrome cards is a refractor card. That’s not bad.

 

In addition, mini cards are an important element of this brand. Well, I don’t know if people like mini cards. It’s fun to find them, however, it’s not so easy to store those mini cards. This time, I found a Marcelo Mayer mini card. It’s a rookie card with A&G back. He just made his MLB debut this season but he missed playing time because of undergoing a surgery. Let’s keep watching if he’s ready to contribute to the Red Sox lineup in spring training. Moreover, I found a Pete Alonso gold border mini card. The card isn’t numbered. On the front, it clearly shows that Alonso is in the Mets uniform. Nonetheless, Pete Alonso decided to ink a deal with the Orioles. In the short-term, we probably won’t see a card that Alonso is in the Mets uniform.

 

Finally, there’s a hit. I couldn’t believe that there’s a hit. When I saw a Dave Winfield relic card, I was so surprised. This year, it’s even harder to find a hit in the hobby box. In 2024, you can find 3 hits (Autographs, Memorabilia Cards, Rip Cards or Original Allen & Ginter Cards) in a hobby box. But in 2025, you can only find 2. I didn’t expect to find a hit in a blaster box. Nonetheless, there’s one. So, pretty good result this time.
