2013 GYPSY QUEEN
24 packs / 10 cards per pack PLUS Mini Card box
'2 Autos and 2 Relics per box'
I received the following:
180 unique base cards - 60% of the base set

Gypsy Queen is an 'art card'. The cards are thicker than the normal baseball card - yet seem to be 'lighter' in weight. The reverse of the card is kind of yellow I don't really care for the color, but ...) The reverse has the Gypsy Queen logo and carries the design from the front to the back. The reverse has a short write up on the player - with few stats.

SP's come 1 in 6 packs - I received 6.

Gypsy Queen is normally a popular set. It contains players from the current teams and historic players as well. The SP's are scattered through out the set. The set builder will need several boxes to achieve/build a complete master set. There are variations on some of the cards as well. The variations come about 1 in 6-7 boxes (good luck in getting all of those!) The player collector will have some fun chasing the base and mini variations of their favorite player(s).
The mini set is a 'doable' set. One should be able to pick up some on the 'bay and trade for the others. Not really sure if the SP's from the larger set are the same as the SP's for the mini set.
The inserts give collectors a history lesson - especially the No Hitters.
My 2 favorites are the blue frame and the ON THE CARD autos!!! The on the card autos are blue Sharpee and look fantastic!
Overall Grade A- don't really like the color of the reverse of the card.....
Go buy several boxes and send the mini Rays to me!
