Quick post today with my latest Kershaw card, and a cool card it is !! Meet my latest 2014 gypsy Queen addition, Hometown Flags (4/5) !! Great addition to my Kershaw PC !!

More Wood !!

A few months back I was able to receive my first "wooden" card, a cool wooden mini of the Bert Blyleven Gypsy Queen card. Earlier this week I received my second wooden mini !! This time one for my main collection: Glavine !!!

Here it is !!

Love the look and feel of this one !! Any of you lucky enough to pull or own a wooden mini ??

My first Smoltz Auto !!

The key focus of my collection in the last few years has been Tom Glavine, chasing anything Tom Glavine ! Smoltz has been a Glavine team mate for a long time, the key three pitchers together with Maddux at the Braves. This year's Gypsy Queen set had a Smoltz auto in the set, an auto together with Glavine ! For me that's enough reason to chase it so here it is !!!

Great card, although on-card would have even be better (as stickers look a bit cheap). Nevertheless, still very happy to add this one to my Glavine collection !!!

New Rizzo cards !!

Quick post today with two new Rizzo cards, one from COMC and one from eBay !

First-up my nicest Rizzo in my collection !! A awesome Museum Collection Booklet !! Now I just need to find a nice way to store them !

Second cards is a mini, not just a mini, a Gypsy Queen mini, autographed as well !!

Love these minis !!!

More Gypsy Queen !!

I love Gypsy Queen and even participated in a group break (more on that later). I wasn't lucky enough to grab the "hits" of some of my PC guys so I chased eBay a bit in recent weeks and was able to find three great additions to my collections !! Here they are !!

First up, Rizzo with a cool on-card auto !! I love these types of cards !!

Next up some Glavine ! Let's start with a game-worn patch, if we can believe Topps of course !

Let's end this post with a mini ! I love minis and in combination with Glavine it's always a succes !!

That's it for today. If you have Gypsy Queen to trade do check out my Want List !!

Gypsy Queen Want List is up !!

The last few days I showed you the "hits" of my three 2014 GQ boxes. Still, with breaking three boxes this still does not mean I have even the base set complete. At the same time, I have a pile of extras including a bunch of inserts for trade, even 3 minis. I am chasing the full set including inserts and minis so if you want to trade do let me know ! You can find my Want List here !

As every post need a card in my view please have a look at my cool new Rivera card !!

Thanks for visiting my blog today !

Gypsy Queen Break, Box 3 !

Time to show-off Gypsy Queen box 3, again focussing on the "hits" !! Here we go !!
Let's start with the auto's ! Here's Kickham and Flores, not the greatest autos but oke...

Here are the two relic cards, Brown and Freeman, actually like the Freeman card !

The blue-framed cards, Clemente and Glavine, yes Glavine !!!!! Best pull of the box for me !!

Last-up, the numbered minis, Ross, Montero and Rodney !

That was it for my 3 Gypsy Queen boxes this year, not bad but not great either. I am chasing the full set of base and minis, including all the inserts and have plenty for trade so if you are up to it, let's trade !!

Gypsy Queen Break, Box 2 !

Time for Box 2 of my Gypsy Queen Break. I will again stick to the "hits". Here they are !!
Let's start with some minis !! Fujikawa, Lake, Davis and Cingrani, a Cubs and Reds hot box ?

The two relics of the box were Simmons,great for my Dutch team collection, and Tulowitzki !

Here are the auto's, starting with a Yankee, Phelps !!

Mike Minor was also present with a pretty cool card !!

The box also contained 2 blue-bordered cards, Pedroia and Sabathia !

Those were the highlights of box 2, be on the look-out for box 3 tomorrow !

Gypsy Queen, box 1 !

Gypsy Queen ! Each year I have my GQ "tradition", that is opening 3 boxes of Gypsy Queen. This year was no different !! As the blogosphere is already swamped with base cards let me stick to the "hits" !

Here's box 1, starting with the Auto's !!

Locke is already claimed but the Eaton is for trade ! I was in luck with this box as instead of 2 autos it actually contained 3 autos !! It's Oil Can Boyd, a cool one for my pitcher collection !

The two relic cards were actually pretty cool !! A great Lincecum for my Lincecum PC and a awesome Encarnacion numbered to only 10 !!

Two blue-framed cards in each box, here's Jones and Killebrew !

To finish the overview look at two cool minis ! I love minis, here are McCann and Choo !

That was it for box 1, by on the look-out for box 2 tomorrow ! My Want list should be up soon, will be chasing the full base card set and the minis !!
