Gypsy Queen Value Pack One

Happy Memorial Day, everyone.  Here is a GQ value pack I bought a long time ago (I've since gotten tons more blaster/packs, etc.)


I like the Gypsy Queen pack design. Something strikes me as odd though. The featured player is Josh Hamilton, and the pack design is kind of nostalgic.  That old time nostalgic look is in stark contrast to Hamilton's sleeve of tattoos which to me seems out of place. 

I'm pretty sure not even the gypsys had arm sleeve tattoos, but maybe they did.  I don't know very much about gypsys. Speaking of which, is it gypsys or gypsies? Damnit Google! I've been spelling it wrong all along.  It's GYPSIES.  (Blog author fail). 
Boring(?) base cards. I think it hard for any card in this set to be boring. The design is so cool.
...and here are the different inserts.
All of these minis are regular back.

These cards below are of the green framed variety that are exclusive to Target stores. Yay for exclusive cards that make me spend more money. Topps loves hates us.

I'm light on the Halladays, Oswalts, Lees, Zimmermans, and Strasburgs from this set.  Anyone have any framed, #ed, etc.?

  1. Hmm... I suppose I can give up my green Halladay if it will help me land some of yours.
