Allen and Ginter harkens back to some of the very first baseball cards, the 1887/1888 Allen & Ginter Tobacco cards. The 2022 Topps Allen and Ginter product pays homage to the original, but with a modern flair.
If you like your cards ultra-glossy, ultra-serious, and totally on-point, this may not be the set for you. But if you like your cards a bit more old school, with some fun subject matter and a few puns, Allen & Ginter may be a dream break for you.
Letโs take a look at this popular yearly release with classic designs.

Topps Allen and Ginter stays true to its modern history, as a homage to the original tobacco cards. That includes the fact that the checklist is a mix of current players, former stars, players from other sports, and celebrities.
Some of the โcelebritiesโ are always amusing, as they do tend to stretch the definition of that term at times. The set also tends to include places and intimate objects, something you wonโt find in other products.
Again, this is all done in homage to the original set, which included โchampionsโ in a variety of endeavors, from rifle shooting, billiards, wrestling, and oarsmanship. The original also included Indian Chiefs, stage actresses, fish, birds, and more.
The 2022 Topps Allen and Ginter base set consists of 300 cards. There is also 50 Short Print (SP) cards, which is numbered 301-350.
Base set parallels include Silver Portrait Parallel (hot boxes only) and 1/1 Glossy Parallels.

As we mentioned above, each pack of Topps 2022 Allen and Ginter includes a mini parallel. The mini set and the parallels mirror the base set in both design and the checklist.

The mini card and their various parallels are always a fun chase and pay homage to the small size of the original Allen & Ginter cards from the 19th century.
Parallels include:
Note that the printing plates are mini-sized but come in a โframeโ that is the size of a base card.
A 150 subset of the base checklist also gets a number of additional mini parallels, which include:
The 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter product goes beyond the norm with box toppers, which come in one per hobby box.

Seeded a tough two per 12-box hobby case, Rip Cards offer another interesting hit, and a bit of riskโฆto rip or not?
Rip cards include one (or more) mini cards inside. Do you rip the outer card to get at a potentially exciting inner card, or keep the whole thing intact?
Standard Allen & Ginter Rip Cards features a 100-card checklist and a single mini card inside.
Allen & Ginter Dual Rip Cards cut the checklist to 50, but feature two players and two mini-cards inside.
As mentioned above, Box Topper Rip Cards are another possible hit.
Rip Cards can contain:
