2006 Topps Allen and Ginter is a baseball card set produced and distributed by Topps as part of its ongoing retro-themed set releases. 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?
