Catching Up On 2011 Gypsy Queen & Heritage

We forgot to scan these at the time but here are a few more Gypsy Queen cards. All are for trade.

Robinson Cano Bat Card. I pulled this on my birthday at the Cardinals game. My dad brought a rack pack to the game and this was in it.


Jayson Werth Jersey & Kevin Youkilis Sepia Mini 74 of 99. These were pulled out of the same hobby pack.


Thurmon Munson Frame 31 of 999. Can’t remember how we got this one.


Jim Thome Bat Card. This came from a hobby box.

Gyspy Queen Hobby Box Break

My Dad surprised me with a Gypsy Queen Hobby Box last week that he bought when it first came out. He has some really good hiding places in the house because I did not know about this one. Like a lot of these boxes, our box only had one of the two autos so we'll be sending in the UPC for the second autograph.

Here's what we got...
Framed cards. Pujols, Ruth and Hornsby… as a Cub?!?!?



Everybody’s Gypsy Queen Autograph – another Cub hit for us this year. Boo!!!!


Our relics – Another Gehrig Jersey!!!


We were also lucky enough to get another printing plate. This time it’s a Pee Wee Reese Yellow Printing Plate 1 of 1. Like the Cody Ross plate I pulled on my birthday, it was in the same pack as the Hanson jersey card.


These are up for trade for similar Cardinals you may have. Thanks.

Gypsy Queen Printing Plates

I pulled a Gypsy Queen Cody Ross 1 of 1 printing plate from the Birthday Blaster Box my family gave me on my birthday. I wished it was a Cardinal plate but was excited to get my second printing plate from a pack. My dad was in Atlanta last week and I saw a few packages in the stack of mail. I really wanted to open them to see what was inside but my I had to wait until he came home. At least Sewing Machine Guy put my name on the trade package so I got to open something.
Well, my dad is home now and he let me open the other two packages. Two Cardinals printing plates!!! Thanks Dad!!!

Gypsy Queen Retail: Seeing Double

We've picked up loose packs of Gypsy Queen at Target the last few weeks and ended up pulling two autos!!!

There was just one problem...

Both Josh Tomlin Auto's are up for trade!

Gypsy Queen Rack Pack II - Another Iron Horse!

Here are the results of our 2nd Gypsy Queen Rack Pack. We’ll start with one of the best cards we’ve ever pulled out of a pack.

Lou Gehrig Framed Mini Jersey


The bonus pack of green framed was packed with a Cardinal’s HOF’er.


And now the inserts…


And finally – Adara


All of the mini’s were base cards but its hard to believe all of these cards came from one rack pack!

Gypsy Queen Rack Pack

Some cards from the value rack pack…

Favorite Player Base

Sticky Fingers Insert (there were actually three inserts, one per pack in this rack pack)

The retail only green sparkly / glittery framed card. We got Strasburg, Price and The Mang.

Gypsy Queen Value Packs at Target

St. Louis area Targets now have Gypsy Queen singles, blasters and value packs. The value packs are similar to the 2010 Chrome value packs: three retail packs and a three card bonus pack of retail only framed parallels for $8.99.

A Few For The Mini Binder

 
Never really got too excited about the Goodwin set or its corresonding mini’s. We’ve picked up a few of the Cardinal mini’s here and there. The black bordered versions are nice but the Gypsy Queen back looks unfinished.to me. A little bit of everything in this one. One for Ikes Cardinal HOF binder, one for his favorite players binder, and two for the random mini binder.
