2007 Upper Deck Goudey set had 240 cards, with 7 Cubs players
Size of Cards
The size of the cards are 2 3/8" x 2 7/8"
Basic Features
The cards numbered 101–200 are a combination of veteran and 2007 rookie logo cards, whereas the first 100 cards are all veterans arranged alphabetically by first name. The retiring greats are shown on cards 201-223, and some of the biggest stars of today are included on short printed cards 224-240.
Unlike the popular set of the day, the backs contained no bios and only a brief synopsis of the player's career. The portrait on the front "stays true to the original Goudey brand," which has an upscale effect.
400 cards in the 2023 Allen and Ginter collection included 14 Cubs players.
Size of Cards
The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½
Basic Features
Topps Allen and Ginter, which debuted in 2006, quickly became one of the company's most popular offerings. Current and retired baseball players, historical luminaries, current celebrities, and the occasional monument were all depicted on the cards. Each set included 300 base cards, 100 short prints, an autograph, and a set of game-used inserts.
Rip Cards were a one-of-a-kind creation for Topps Allen and Ginter. Each card can be split open to reveal a second card, a rare red ink autograph, a shortprinted small unique, a wood counterpart, or an original on the inside. Around one rip card was put each case. In 2014, Double Rip Cards were introduced.
For several years, Topps has been framing mini cards with autographs or gamed minis inside in their retro-tobacco themed sets. This concept was carried over into Topps Allen and Ginter, which included both an autograph and a game-used collection. Also inserted into packs were original A and G that were framed similar to the relic and autographed cards. Allen and Ginter are also known for their box topper insert sets of slightly oversized cards, as well as low serial number autographs and game-used cards.
In 2023, Topps marked the 17th anniversary of the popular Allen & Ginter series. Cards 301-400 were published as short prints and are part of the base set.
