I couldn't resist the urge to rip some packs so I picked up 4 rack packs of 2012 Gypsy Queen over the past 2 days. I think the cards look nice but the huge Gypsy Queen logo is a little distracting. The player selections seems to be spot on with current players and retired ones too. These packs are a lot of fun to open ( I guess that's why I made 2 separate trips to Wal-Mart and Target to buy some!). Soooo you're probably interested to see what I got huh? Here we go:
These aren't the hobby exclusive mini inserts, just 3 Willie Mays cards out of 12 packs! Too bad I don't collect the Say Hey Kid.
The Blue Framed paper cards look pretty awesome. I don't think that I could have gotten a better team since the Dodger blue matches the border so well. I'm pretty sure this card won't last in my for trade list very long.
Here's the 4 Photo Variation shortprints. Another Kemp, Ryan Howard, Nelson Cruz and Joey Votto. Who's the best player in the group?
And here come the mini's. A Dan Haren Green, and Black Bordered Prince Fielder and Dee Gordon. I like the Black borders but the Greenie doesn't do anything for me. It's just another parallel for me to chase of Nick Markakis.
