View source for 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter

=Description=

Considered by many to possibly be the best baseball product of 2006. These cards were simply gobbled up by collectors, prices soared above Topps' suggested retail price and the hits just kept coming. A strong lineup of major league players, superstar athletes from other sports (including Jennie Finch and Danica Patrick) set the tone for the set. The autographs, parallels and GU inserts were all outstanding. But the real prize were the Rip cards. Cards that contained another card inside the main card and seeded 1 per case. Inside the rip cards would be either an autographed mini, a special limited mini, a unique Dick Perez sketch or an original 1887 Allen and Ginter N28 card. Won Beckett's Product of the Year in 2006. Did Topps finally perfect the retro/vintage card set?

As of January 2008, hobby boxes are available for $180-$225.

=Distribution=

==Inserts==

===N-43===

As a tribute to the orginal Allen and Ginter sets, a special group of cards were inserted as box toppers. The cards' dimension are the same measurements as the original 1888 Allen and Ginter N43 cards and are modeled in the same style. Each hobby box had either an N43 or a Postcard card inserted as a box topper.

14 	Kenji Johjima 	

15 	Ryan Zimmerman 	

===Postcards===

Two different types of cards were inserted into the hobby boxes of 2006 Allen and Ginter as a box topper. Each box would contain either a postcard box topper or a N43 box topper. The post cards measure approximately the same dimensions as a standard US postal service post card. The card fronts feature a black and white picture from a location that would be associated with the player. The card back feature a short message from the player and a facsimile signature. The "stamp" of the post card features a small portrait picture of the player.

===Dick Perez Sketch Cards===

The most disappointing part of 06 Allen and Ginter was the Dick Perez Sketch cards that were inserted at a rate of nearly 1 per pack. Perez has a long history of drawing ballplayer portraits for card manufacturers, dating back to the early 1980's in Donruss. However, in this set his artwork is out of place. Topps called for his drawings to be too small and fine thus losing much of their majesty and detail. Although sticking with the original size was the intent, allowing Perez to draw N43 box toppers or a standard size portrait would have made for better cards.

As stated, these cards were seeded into any pack that did not contain a relic, autograph or rip card.

As with the old Diamond King issues in 1990's Donruss, one player from each team is featured on a card, thus a 30 card set.

====Original Sketches====

Inserted into Rip cards in 2006 Allen and Ginter, these cards are the original sketches drawn by Dick Perez that were used for the regular 1:1 pack insert. Each one is completely unique and serial numbered 1/1.	

===Rip Cards===

The Rip cards in 2006 Allen and Ginter were a new concept by Topps. The cards were designed to be torn open and had a second mini card inside. The mini cards would either an autographed mini, a limited gray back mini, an original Dick Perez sketch (1/1) or an original buy-back Allen and Ginter card from 1887.

The cards were seeded at approximately 1 per hobby case or 1:265 packs. There were 50 total rip cards with print runs varying from 10 - 99. A checklist with the print runs is shown below. It should be highlighted that the prices in the Beckett price guide are for ripped cards that have had the inside card removed. Unripped cards carry a much higher premium, if you can even find one at all. Ripped cards still appear on Ebay occasionally.

When Allen and Ginter was first released the demand for these cards was sky-high. Thus the price on these cards was signicantly higher than other sets that had similarly serial numbered cards. Ordinarily a Andruw Jones numbered /99 would not carry a $100+ price tag. Now that the demand has fallen (in 2008) the prices are more in line with other serial numbered card sets.

Although rarely seen on the secondary market any more, these cards still demand a high premium. A ripped copy of RIP #2 Dontrelle Willis (#7/10) sold on EBay in January 2008 for $55. A ripped copy of RIP #35 Albert Pujols (8/99) was sold on EBay in Jan, 2008 for $10.

==Autographs & Game-Used==

===Framed Autographs===

39 players were featured in an Autographed set. The players autographed mini cards of themselves that were than placed inside a frame similar to the frames that the relic and A&G originals were set in. The autographed cards were inserted in different groups at different rates.

Insertion Odds

    * GROUP A ODDS 1:2467 H, 1:3850 R
    * GROUP B ODDS 1:14,500 H, 1:32,000 R
    * GROUP C ODDS 1:2200 H, 1:4300 R
    * GROUP D ODDS 1:548 H, 1:1090 R
    * GROUP E ODDS 1:473 H, 1:1000 R
    * GROUP F ODDS 1:250 H, 1:520 R
    * GROUP G ODDS 1:158 H, 1:299 R

Print Run

The print runs for each group were provided by Topps. None of the cards are serial numbered.

Although Brian Roberts, Felix Hernandez and Zach Duke were all advertised by Topps as being included in this set, it is now believed that these cards were not actually produced. These cards are not included in the Beckett Collections or OPG listing for the set.

Also there is some question as to whether the Kenji Johjima and Tony Gwynn cards exist.

Two players, Alex Rodriguez and David Wright, also signed 10 cards each in red ink. These cards were also randomly inserted into packs. The cards are not serial numbered.

===Framed Relics===

Inserted at varying rates based on different grouping, 50 relic cards were also inserted into the Allen and Ginter packs. Included along with the baseball game used relics were two cards featuring a tie worn by George W. Bush and a sweater worn by John F. Kennedy. Both of these cards are extremely rare. However, it should be noted that the Mantle jersey relic is no more rare than the Huston Street or Travis Hafner cards.

===Personalized Postcards===

Two different types of cards were inserted into the hobby boxes of 2006 Allen and Ginter as a box topper. Each box would contain either a postcard box topper or a N43 box topper. The post cards measure approximately the same dimensions as a standard US postal service post card. The card fronts feature a black and white picture from a location that would be associated with the player. The card backs feature a short message from the player, hand written by the player with a signature. The "stamp" of the post card features a small portrait picture of the player.

The odds of pulling a personalized postcard was 1:3000 hobby boxes. Each personalized postcard is a unique 1/1. A checklist of the cards and a scan of the Gary Carter Card is below.
