2013 Gypsy Queen 

Hobby Box Break - Part 3

The Hits !! 

Finally i'll present you the hits of my break.

Remember there are 2 Autos & 2 Relic cards per 

Hobby Box.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What could you get ...

(not talking about the extra mini box)

Autograph Cards (on card) - 2 per Hobby Box
Autograph Mini Cards

Autograph Relic Cards #25 or less
Dual Autograph Relic Cards #25 or less
Triple Autograph Relic #10 or less

Relic Cards (Black parallel #25) 1 per Box
Mini Relic Cards (Black parallel #10) 1 per Box

Original Patch Cards 1of1
Bat Barrel Cards 1of1
Jumbo Relic Cards

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's begin ....


First pack , first hit. Suprising but a 
really cool card.

Matt Holliday - Mini Framed Relic
(Really cool card, but i don't know why they frame those.
Would be better if it's not framed)






Second Hit:

Jean Segura - Auto 

(Goes for 3$ to 15$ on eBay , don't know. Not so cool)

Next "Hit":

Yonder Alonso - Auto (Redemption)

(Goes for 5$ up to 25$ on eBay, just the redemption. Seems to be, Yonder

didn't sign them yet. My redemtion is still pending. Not shipped.)

Last HIT! :

David Freese - Hometown Currency Parallel 4/5

(Holds a genuine Missouri quarter, little spot in the upper left corner

isn't on the card)

Back of the card

This one is very nice isn't it? 2011 World Series MVP and #5

So there is a currency parallel of every card in the set.

It's not a Jackie Robinson but i think i had a good one with Freese.

But the question is, why Topps considers this as a relic?

It's a manufactured relic in my opinion.

Or did he buy some gum with this quarter ? ^^ I don't think so.

Anyways it's a cool and rare card. Didn't found Freese's on eBay yet.

The Hometown Currencys have a range from 50$ up to 250$ in case of the Jackie Robinson.

Most of them on eBay are about 100$. But no Freese ... if you have a new Beckett Baseball or a subscription please tell me his BV if the card is listed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's break the break down!



I paid about 120$ for the Hobby Box.
And this is the best price you can get in europe.


Cool, base cards. Many inserts.
Very few parallels ... there are only 2 different base card parallels.
Some mini parallels. But the best one was broken ^^ 

The hits are ok. The best hit isn't even a real hit :D but i don't care cause
i love the design this year. Cool and solid product.
For the 90$ you pay in US i would buy a second.

I'll give the break a B- !!


Next box I'll buy should be
2013 Allen Ginter .. best product year after year!

Base Cards , Short Prints and Variations

Let's start with the 10 card mini pack (the Box Loader)

In this pack could be a Button Relic, a Booklet , a Mini Auto 

oooor just 10 Mini VARIATION Cards.

.... so at least you'll get 10 cool Variation cards.

... and guess what ? :D i did! 

• 26 Clayton Kershaw
• 208 Gio Gonzales
• 7 Mike Schmidt
• 99 Yu Darvish
• 149 Tom Seaver
• 284 Reggie Jackson
• 277 Orlando Cepeda
• 49 George Kell
• 68 Johnny Cueto
• 64 Joey Votto

The Variation Card compared to the base Mini :

Kershaw Variation (with Bat) and Regular (pitching)

Tom Seaver - Mini Variation

Mike Schmidt   and   Yu Darvish , both Variation versions

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Base Cards

The base card design this year is very cool. The best of all Gypsy Queen in 
my opinion. But to collect the whole 350 card base set is a problem i think.
Cause 50 of them are short printed. And the SPs are not 300-350 , they are spread
all over the base set. And they are hard to get ... a real shame.

Anyways .. i've scanned some base: 

Evan Longoria 

Evan Longoria - Back

Sandy Koufax  and Justin Verlander

Nelson Cruz    and    Jackie Robinson

Derek Jeter   and   Whitey Ford (a realy great card)

David Wright 

.... cool but ... oO

.... noooo! Are you serious Topps ? -.- 

Why should anybody pick that picture ?? ^^ 

And the last Base Scan ...

Babe Ruth

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Base SPs

I had 6 SPs in 24 packs ...

• 7 Mike Schmidt
• 162 Bruce Sutter
• 248 Matt Harrison
• 346 Phil Rizzuto
• 340 Willie Mays
• 318 Robin Roberts

Some scans ...

Willie Mays SP

Robin Roberts   and   Matt Harrison , Short Prints

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minis

1 Mini Card per Pack

Paul Molitor   and   Don Mattingly , Minis

Darin Ruf Mini Rookie Card   and   Paco Rodriguez Rookie Card

The last card for today ....

Nolan Ryan Mini (Short Printed)

That was it for the first part ..

I hope you enjoyed
