Completely Red: 2008 Allen & Ginter

Why? Because I like em. I'm glad this brand exists. All the white space works. Also awesome is that it's a 9-card team set. Perfect for the ol' binders. It's very fortunate that no Reds fell into the short print section, so this was a smooth set to nab, even with the three excellent rookies (Votto, Cueto, Bruce) and the last Griffey card in a Reds uni. The only thing sullying the page is the one horizontal card. I like it on its own, but I wish all nine were oriented the same way. I know. Tough life, right?

STATS:

Cards - 9

RC's - 3 - (Joey Votto, Johnny Cueto, Jay Bruce)

All Stars - 7 (Adam Dunn, Joey Votto, Francisco Cordero, Edwin Encarnacion, Jay Bruce, Brandon Phillips, Ken Griffey Jr.)

Reds Hall of Famers - 1 (Ken Griffey Jr.)

Pastel Fart Clouds - 9


Checklist:

61 Adam Dunn
129 Joey Votto
191 Francisco Cordero
193 Edwin Encarnacion
215 Aaron Harang
224 Johnny Cueto
273 Jay Bruce
285 Brandon Phillips
290 Ken Griffey Jr.

Go Reds.

  1. Definitely. You'd be hard pressed to find a better trio of rookies for a team in the same year.
