The 2018 Topps Gypsy Queen baseball is another solid offering of this brand. The fronts have a similar look we've become accustomed to with enough changes to ensure you know it is their 2018 set. I'd like to see some team logos and a less pronounced GQ logo but otherwise the fronts are nice with good space for the photos. The backs are fairly simple with a short write-up being the highlight. These cards and their old school aesthetics appeal to me each year. I wish the price point was a bit easier on the wallet though. While my pull was a bit bland I still like the design and in particular the Wilson Contreras card stood out. Nice reaction photo taking up the majority of the card for a close-up feel.
Beyond the green parallels I also pulled an indigo parallel that is numbered /250 of Addison Russel. Paul Goldschmidt will go into the personal collection and this pack also shows Evan Longoria in his new Giants uni. I like this set. I may or may not pick up more packs with the price point being the only thing that would hold me back.

Miss the framed parallels... but I just saw the Tarot inserts for the first time today. Those are really nice.
ReplyDeleteI had not seen those cards yet and had to look them up. You're right, those are nice looking cards and I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
