Like most collectors, I browse eBay from time to time looking for some good deals. I came across a seller who does a lot of case breaks of Topps products. I recalled the seller's name from Twitter and remember reading nothing but good things about him. I am almost sure most of you have done business with Brent before and I have to agree with everyone's comments about him.
I decided to give Brent a try for the 2015 Topps Gypsy Queen release. I
enjoyed this release and like the design and look of the cards.
I think the Mets have some pretty good looking cards in this set, too.
The Mets have some pretty good looking inserts, too. I think I like the Lenny Dykstra the best. The Queen's Throwbacks is an interesting card, too. Curtis Granderson is shown wearing a throwback jersey from a 2014 game against the Pirates. The jersey says "Royal Giants" and would actually foreshadow (coincidentally, of course) the 2014 World Series match-up between the Kansas City Royals and San Francisco Giants.
I also decided to try some of Brent's single card auctions and picked up an auto and relic card. Overall, I have to say this was a great experience just purchasing the team's master set and along with a hit card or two. It does take a little bit out of the chase of completing a set, but I still have plenty of sets to complete. Doing things the easy way is sometimes the way to go.
Pretty sure Gypsy Queen is still on my list of things to finish from last year... but in my defense, I hadn't originally planned to collect it until I got the Granderson card - I'm a sucker for throwback uniforms.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice looking set. Probably my favorite design for Gypsy Queen.
