2014 Allen & Ginter Baseball - The Dodger Box Loader Cards

This promises to be my last post on Topps 2014 Allen & Ginter set.  Go here to check out all of my previous post on this set.  Featured below are the handful of Dodger Box-Loader cards that are available, and they are gorgeous.  They were bonus cards inserted into hobby boxes only.  They measure approximately 4.25" by 6.50". 

There is a Clayton Kershaw Autographed Relics card (#OBAR-CK) numbered to just 5 copies, but has not yet surfaced.  Also, a couple of Cabinet Relic cards, both "1 of 1's", have yet to be pulled.  They are the:

• Cabinet Relics card (#/1) of #CR-YP Yasiel Puig
• Cabinet Book Relics card (#/1) of #CBR-YC Yasiel Puig & Clayton Kershaw

If I'm not mistaken, the above two cards feature uniform nameplates.

They also made cabinet sized Box Loader cards of the base cards from the Allen & Ginter set.  So, they are just large sized reprints.  Only 3 Dodgers are a part of this subset.  Just for reference, check them out below.  As you'll notice they are exact replicas of their base card.

2014 Allen & Ginter Baseball - The Dodger Rip Cards

The next group of Dodger cards found within Allen & Ginter are called Rip cards.  Go here to check out all of my previous post on this set.  As the name suggest, hidden within the bowels of these cards are scarce mini cards.  There are single Rip cards, double Rip cards (with 2 mini cards inside) and for the first time Mini-Rip cards.

The Mini-Rip cards are the size of a typical mini card, but have a surprise hidden within them.  There is an even smaller mini- card that can be ripped out.  From my understanding, there are 20 Mini-Rip cards available, but a complete checklist is not yet known.  Also, a Dodger is not yet known to exist in this set.

BTW, the mini-mini cards are all "1 of 1" super small versions of the base mini card.  They look to be about the size of those mini cards Topps produced in the early 90's.  In the below 2 photos is an example of a Mini-Rip card on the left and the Clayton Kershaw mini-mini base card on the right.

Below are the single Rip Dodger cards.

2014 Allen & Ginter Baseball - The Dodger Insert Cards

Following up on yesterday's post featuring the Dodger base cards found in 2014 Allen & Ginter, I now show you some of the Dodger Insert cards.  Go here to check out all of my previous post on this set. 

Directly below are the Mini Exclusive cards that are found only in Rip cards.  The 50 card set (#351 to #400) can only be found in mini form and feature 4 Dodger players.  Check them all out below.  As you can see, they feature different poses from their normal base cards.  BTW, I'll share some of the Dodger Rip cards later this week.

#368 Clayton Kershaw               #383 Hyun-Jin Ryu

Also hidden within Rip cards are scarce Mini Metal cards.  The complete set consist of 150 cards and they are reported to be limited to only 5 copies each.  Below is a complete Dodger checklist, and a photo of the Clayton Kershaw metal card on the right.:
