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 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!

An Awesome T206 Leftover

Our local card shop is downsizing. They are not closing, just moving to a smaller space. He marked down the last packs of T206 to $2.50 so we bought two packs last week. Isaac pulled this one out of the second pack!


As always, its up for trade for similar Cardinals’.

Playing with Dolls...

Ok... figures. Thought it would be fun to post Isaac's ever growing collection of bobbleheads, figures, etc...
