What’s In 2022 Topps Allen And Ginter Baseball Besides Ducks And Some Baseball Cards? [Checklist Added]

topps allen and ginter 2022 release

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.

Letโ€™s take a look at this popular yearly release with classic designs.

2022 Topps Allen and Ginter base set & design

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 โ€œcelebritiesโ€ 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 wonโ€™t find in other products.

Again, this is all done in homage to the original set, which included โ€œchampionsโ€ 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.

2022 Topps Allen & Ginter Base Design

Topps 2022 Allen & Ginter mini & mini 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:

  • Allen & Ginter Minis (1:5 packs, SP 1:65 packs)
  • Black Bordered Minis (1:10 packs, SP 1:130 packs)
  • No Number Minis: /50
  • Brooklyn Back Minis: /25
  • Glossy Minis: 1/1
  • Wood Minis: 1/1
  • Printing Plates: 1/1

Note that the printing plates are mini-sized but come in a โ€œframeโ€ 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:

  • Metal Mini: /3
  • Stained Glass Mini: /25
  • Framed Mini Cloth: / 10 (hobby exclusive)

Topps Allen and Ginter 2022 Baseball Rip Cards and exclusives

Seeded a tough two per 12-box hobby case, Rip Cards offer another interesting hit, and a bit of riskโ€ฆto 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:

  • 1/1 Artist Originals
  • Mini Exclusives โ€“ extend the set with cards number 351-400
  • Mini Metal Exclusives /3
  • Mini Wood Exclusives 1/1
  • Mini Stained Glass Exclusives 1/1

2022 Topps Allen & Ginter Value

Allen & Ginter isnโ€™t a high-end product, but how does the cost of 2022 Allen & Ginter compare to the price prior hobby boxes are selling for?

SetHobby Box Price
2022 $130
2021$130
2020$200
2019$320

What does that mean for hobby box value? 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter hobby boxes are likely to hold their value, maybe even appreciate a bit. The upside is unlikely to be huge, but it beats the alternative.

Where Ginter isnโ€™t a product thatโ€™s very rookie focused, itโ€™s unlikely to have the year-to-year fluctuations of a product like Bowman may exhibit. People collect Allen & Ginter for all the unique stuff that it brings to the table.

Final thoughts on 2022 Topps Allen and Ginter

2022 Allen and Ginter is a reasonably priced product that promises some hits and lots of fun. If youโ€™re not into celebrities, ducks, national parks, and sandwiches on your cards, this might not be the set for you. But if youโ€™re looking for a break thatโ€™s light on chrome but heavy on fun, this looks like a great option.
