	Two different types of cards were inserted into the hobby boxes of 2006 Allen and Ginter as a box topper. Each box would contain either a ~~postcard~~ box topper or a N43 box topper. The ~~post cards~~ measure approximately the same dimensions as a standard US postal service ~~post card~~. The card fronts feature a black and white picture from a location that would be associated with the player. The card back feature a short message from the player and a facsimile signature. The "stamp" of the post card features a small portrait picture of the player.		Two different types of cards were inserted into the hobby boxes of 2006 Allen and Ginter as a box topper.

	2006 Topps Allen & Ginter is a 350-card set released July 26th, 2006. Considered by many to ~~possibly~~ be the best baseball product of 2006, ~~and winner of~~ ''Beckett Baseball's'' Product of the Year for 2006~~, packs of Topps' first Allen & Ginter set were gobbled up by collectors shortly after release~~. ~~Prices soared above Topps' suggested retail price as the hits just kept coming.~~ Part of the appeal of Allen & Ginter, was a strong lineup of major league players joined by superstar athletes from other sports -- all in keeping with the spirit of the original Allen & Ginter sets.		2006 Topps Allen & Ginter (officially "Topps Allen & Ginter: The World's Champions") is a 350-card set released July 26th, 2006.

	The autographs, parallels, and game-used inserts were all outstanding, but the real prize were the controversial Rip ~~cards~~.

In order to get the mini-card, collectors had to "Rip" open (thereby destroying) the Rip ~~card~~. Inside the ~~rip cards~~ would be either an autographed mini, a special limited mini, a unique Dick Perez sketch or an original [[1887 Allen and Ginter]] N28 card.
