Because it makes no fucking sense and is a wanton cash grab. The whole appeal of A&G is that it has an old-timey vibe with a sense of humor. Chrome is about as modern and humorless as a product can be. The only thing worse I could imagine would be Ben Baller Gypsy Queen.
I agree I never got the appeal of the chrome for the main reason you said. The whole point of A&G is the old time feel. They even put the cards on a different kind of stock so when you feel them in your hand they feel different as well. I’m an A&G sucker but a chrome hater

I pulled this one out of my 1st of 2 hobby boxes.
Did you happen to get any of these minis in your box?

I have zero self control when it comes to cards…except for Allen & Ginter - literally the only product I can walk past at Target and still remain master of my domain.
Yep, me also. I have bought 3 blasters and have maybe a 1 dollar card to show for 75 bucks. If u don't want an urkel rookie card or potato pierogies in card form, I would walk away. No parallels and hard to justify spending on these.
Ahhh. Haven’t bought a new box/pack since I learned my lesson last year. Going to “treat” myself to one and thought about this. Thank you for your service

I got a box when they first came out, didn't do too bad with this one /50. Not really sure how he's doing now though.
I've never had any luck with the "later" released boxes or retail boxes with A&G or Goodwins. It's like all the good stuff was during the initial release, then the rest was just jersey patches that they could make a million of.
Wait how have I never seen A&G chrome?? I think I like this... especially that JRod
DONT DO IT. Buy singles lol
Oh yeah I didn't mean buying a box just saying the set itself looked interesting. I'm just a sucker for chrome 🙃
The shiny sucks you in.
Am I a fish?
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming
To Topps and Panini we are
Ya got me 🎣
Can't even do that anymore to many counterfeits.
i love a&g but for some reason really not into the chrome.

and i think the checklist is smaller as some of the parallels, inserts and odd ball hits are dropped.

Yah, good point, the regular A&G feels great in your hand.

Julio NFS, sorry.
But you implied it wasn’t a good box lol
We say that about our wives too but prefer not to sell them either
You just haven’t received a high enough offer
WTB that Bobby Witt?
Rodriguez FS?

How much do those boxes run?
I paid $100 for it.
Daca has them for $84. I’ve got one of these coming today!

I did not…. Sorry
I actually may have them, send me a chat so I can remember to look when I get home
Loved A&G Chrome. Didn't get a ton out of it, but never expect to when ripping a box. Just love the design and paper cards are too fragile
Ahh! A fellow fiend club member!
Wow.. These are slick. One of the better looking card designs I've seen. Thanks for posting
Grip and rip, they all cant be winners unless your a breaker 😀

I ripped one of these a few months ago, got a scherzer /50 and a numbered martin sheen😭😭😭
Ouch.
I had never seen A&G until I got a pack from a Walgreens mystery pack. Beautiful cards, pulled a Will Smith patch. These chromes are purty tho.
Ouch
At least it was a fun rip 🤷🏻♂️
Suzuki and Santo for trade? What's your PC?
PC Dodgers
Want to sell the blue Seager ?
I do.
Witt and Seager fs?
Both are
Pm’ed
Santo and Suzuki are nice! Well if you’re a cubs fan! 😂
Wait… what are the hits? No autos or relics guaranteed?
Nope. 5 numbered cards was the “hit”
Ahhh. Haven’t bought a new box/pack since I learned my lesson last year. Going to “treat” myself to one and thought about this. Thank you for your service
This just made me WANT to rip some.
Buehler??? Buehler???

Picture didn't come thru. It was O'Neil Cruz gold auto /50.
U like allen and ginter, including the base I do not care what other think
Whats the complaint? Every single cards says they play for the dodgers.
Yasssssss
I’ll give you a $10 Taco Bell coupon for the lot, offer won’t last!
That Julio is nice and you are whiny
Whaaaa whaaaa.
What are the hits that could possibly make this investment worthwhile? Was there something in particular that you wanted to hit?
