I Own 100% Of A Print Run

It was almost two years ago that I showed off 2/3 of my 2016 Allen & Ginter metal minis.  I had kept a close eye for the final missing piece to eventually show up on the open market and it finally did.

Behold the power of 3!!!
2016 Allen & Ginter mini metals

They were limited to only 3 copies, but I now own 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3.

It feels pretty awesome to be knocking out cards like this to complete print runs.  2019 releases have been pretty slow thus far, but I expect that to change as the season goes on.

Metal makes my mind spin

I can't deny it, metal may be my favorite genre of music. Play it proud, turn it loud. While Metallica is the headline group that many people think of, I was always a Pantera guy myself.  Cowboys From Hell is to this day one of my top 5 albums I would take to an island if I could only ever listen to 5 albums again.

One thingI never noticed regarding my Cutch card collection before was a small subtle change that Topps did when producing their extremely limited 1993 Finest All-Star Metal versions produced in 2013.

The produced the metal version upside down compared to it's original version.

Both versions scanned in the same way based on their backs.

Was this an oops on Topps or did they do this on purpose to distinguish the cards apart? What are your thoughts?

Lets look at that Metal Finest again
