A little over a month ago Sam over at The Daily Dimwit posted about a large number of base and mini cards he secured from 2012 Gypsy Queen. I was immediately drawn to a scan of a Willie Mays Blue framed parallel and a few minis and shot him a note to see if we could work out a trade. I also saw an opportunity to fill in some gaps in my Gypsy Queen set without having to buy a second box. I shot Sam a list of Nolan Ryan cards and Astros cards and we struck up a deal. Here is what I got:
First up is the Mays I referenced along with some mini goodness. I ended up with 2 black borders, 1 green border, 1 Gypsy Queen back and a mini Moonshots card. Some great Giants to add to my collection but this wasn't what excited me most. Check this out:
An entire box of Gypsy Queen base. I thought this was going to complete my set but I am still missing one card. This was almost 120 different base cards and mixed with my box break I am only 1 card short of the set. As a set builder, this made me very happy.
Thanks for the trade Sam!
