Description

Ian Snell pitched for the Pirates during a competitive era, and his inclusion in this set reflects his role on the roster at the time. Collectors value Allen & Ginter cards for their distinctive artwork, set-building appeal, and the nostalgia factor of the retro design. This mini card offers an affordable entry point into the 2008 Allen & Ginter release, making it suitable for set completion, Pirates team collectors, or anyone drawn to the set's unique visual identity.
