2021 Topps Gypsy Queen Blaster!

Another box of Gypsy Queen! I'll say it again that this strikes me as an unnecessary product. Allen & Ginter already covers the old fashioned style card. But, I guess having options is never a bad thing.

How did I do in this box? There's only one way to find out.

Let's have a look!



As always, the box. Just in case you were confused.


And, the packs. Five of them this time.


Still not thrilled with the combo of the action shot and the old-time feel. If you're going to go all ornate and elegant with the borders, I think you need a portrait. Maybe it's just me.


Some sort of insert featuring Xander. I have no idea what's going on here.


I do enjoy how Devers has his elbow sticking beyond the border. I'm a sucker for that. 


Another Bogaerts. A fancy purple one this time. How fancy?


"Numbered to 250" fancy.


And we'll finish with this green Verdugo sticking his bat over the border. The green isn't as fancy as the purple, apparently.

And there you have it. Numbered Sox are always fun, even if this set doesn't exactly wow me.

How did your box go?

2021 Topps Gypsy Queen Blaster!

It looks like this is the first time I'll be talking about this set! Always fun to include a new product. Gypsy Queen strikes me as an unnecessary product. I guess it's for people who like the old timey look, but don't like the odd card subjects you find in Allen & Ginter. So, maybe it has a role for some people.

How did I do in this box? There's only one way to find out.

Let's have a look!


Here's the box. Even that has an old feel to it.



And, the packs. Same theme.


And a Red Sox card! Not sure how I feel about an action shot in this set. I guess as the departure from A&G it makes sense. This is more of the fake old set.


Another Sox! Well, former Sox at this point. That's the risk you take with cards this late.


One of those fancy bordered parallels. Nobody I'm all that excited about. Or have even heard of. The pink is a nice color combo though.


So is the blue! Of course, I've heard of this guy. Always fun to get a Hall of Famer in your pack.


Especially when it's numbered!

All in all, a decent box. A couple Sox, a hit with the Puckett. Not sure I can expect much more.

How did your blasters go?
