2014 Allen and Ginter Case topper red mini pack


I have always done my set building a little different than most collectors. I have the compulsion to build and finish sets, but lack the gambler mentality that leads one to rip lots of wax looking for the big hit.  I tend browse ebay buying the left over lots of disappointment.  This year I have switched things up a bit, with Ginter having the red mini /33 set only coming in the 5 card 1 per case packs, while buying as many of these in lots that I can I have also taken to purchasing unopened 5 packs as well(for bargain prices --of course).  Here is the results of 1 such package.  
Obviously one of these is not like the other, which means I shouldn't have assumed that the packaging saying 5 exclusive mini parallel cards, didn't just mean red border /33s.  I have seen these listed on ebay from time to time, and wasnt sure if people were talking about the super mini 1/1s that come from the mini mini rip cards, or something else.  I seen listing talking about mini 1/1s that are in retail boxes, but i haven't read too much about them either.  I wondered if maybe they were included inside the boxtops like the full sized glossy 1/1s.  I guess not, so if anyone was wondering, turns out the glossy mini 1/1s are mixed in with the red minis.


If you are interested the Arenado and Portnoy are for trade as well as the Napoli I suppose.  Heck for that matter if anyone collects wrappers, the wrapper is available as well.  

I should add if anyone reading this has any red border /33 minis I am more than willing to trade... I am over 50% complete on this set.

Let's make a deal!!!!

I've got these four left from mine (I think, I'll have to double check that they're still there).
