2018 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Cards

Cards Look nice, but the Card number is waaaaaay too small. For set builders without teenage eyes, this is a struggle for this set. Perhaps its only me. I need to put on the glasses and a magnify glass.

A mini painting in your hand. Pure Art.

Hi, one thing I don’t see on here for your ‘Autograph Section’: I got a Manny Machado Auto with a Jackie Robinson number and missing GQ logo, #/40.

Hello again Trey. Emailed Topps about the Eric Thames Auto Card I pulled out of the Gypsy Queen Box. I had to send them a photo of the card so they could look into this. They messaged me back on Friday to tell me this was definitely an error card.

The missing GQ Logo for the Swap wasn’t there & the /99 was the correct numbering to match the card but what makes this a rare error card is the fact the GQ Logo was blank at the Swap position on the card. They know of no other cards from this years 2018 Gypsy Queen release that had such an error with the missing Log Swap.

So, this makes this card worth way more than what it books for. It would be like pulling a 1/1 card basically. I’m going to put the card on eBay soon to see what I can get out of it.

The Topps customer service rep said the value of the card would be at least doubled of what the regular card books for & probably even close to triple the value because it’s like a 1/1 pull. Thanks.

Forgot to mention that the Eric Thames Auto card is numbered /99 on the back so it would fall into the GQ Logo Swap category but there’s a blank logo at the top right & 1B at the bottom left. So, there is a Logo Swap but what’s up with the blank logo where GQ should be located at the top right?

Bought a Jumbo Retail Box(10 Packs & 2 Bonus Packs) of these cards from eBay. Pulled a card not listed in the checklist. It’s an auto of Eric Thames of the Brewers. On the back it’s his base card #118 listed but it’s an auto so it should be in the 2018 Topps Gypsy Queen Auto section shouldn’t it? Doesn’t have the GQA-?? designation like the autos are listed so what exactly is this type of autograph card?

Did Topps just miss putting this card in the Auto section of the checklist? I wonder though because it’s just his base card #118 on the back & not like the rest of the autos are listed with the GQA-**. Any idea Trey? Thanks.

Question for Trey — I love those box topper cards – what size top loaders do they use — would like to know before I buy them Thanks in advance

Agreed with Stewart above – the best looking Topps set.

The Banner Auto’s really stand out. The base cards themselves are aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

I love Gypsy Queen and this years was great!!!!

Love, love, love the cards. Colors look great, player selection is great. Cards are hip and upbeat Allen & Ginter has been getting boring (design wise) so this is a welcome change. High numbers give you a challenge and the auto selection is also a hit for me!

Bought $100 on retail and got 1 auto and 5 variations. Not bad. Nice on card auto. Would have been pissed if bought hobby. This seems like a set builder rather than hit filled product. Which works for me. Oddly did better in blasters than the jumbo retail box.

Got a strange Jacob deGrom autograph numbered to 45. He is wearing the Jackie Robinson Day number. The circle in the upper right where the GQ Logo goes is empty except for a weird hazy pattern. Ideas? Error? Unlisted variation? Parallel? I find no such card in the checklist.

Enhanced pictures, live action, great card stock and all good players. Ohtani drove up the natural price of these boxes but a great overall value. If you enjoy collecting and building sets then you can’t miss with this product. 2 boxes and I got a complete base set. No great autos but they are at least on card. This is the best looking set topps will have to offer. If however,you are in the hobby to break boxes, ignore the actual cards and sell on eBay this probably isn’t the product for you. Only gripe is the small rate that the sub sets fly. It wouldn’t kill the set to have a few less variations overall (like missing nameplates) and kick up the subset inserts. This is after all a set Builder’s product.

Dodge Slugger, the tie-in is with the name of the set, Gypsy Queen. Roma used tarot cards to read fortunes and and are commonly used as the stereotypical fortune teller.

I knew what I was buying and for that it was excellent. My question here is, has anyone come across a of the booklet patch autos numbered of #/10? Or see any Mike Trout booklets? I pulled a Mike Trout booklet but it’s colored red instead of blue and is number 01/10. All of the other booklets for this year are either blue #/20 or black 1/1.

A great “set” product, I purchased the entire set (300 cards) no short prints, for about the price of a blaster box. The Ohtani RC is Nice!!!!

The autos are on card and look great.
Only product with Rhys Hoskins auto
so far that looks great espeically the Indigo.

Just simply not great designs. Card fronts seem crowded and doesn’t have a real reason for being.
Fortune teller inserts ? Tarot card inserts ?
Where is the tie in with baseball – insert gimmicks just for the sake of inserts is not what fans want.
Come on Topps you can do better ……..and I think you have to if you’re going to maintain the hobby. Take all the production costs from sets like this and put the resources into making Heritage, Topps base and a few high end sets great! You built the hobby – now it’s time to rebuild it.

I’m disappointed with this years set. I like to put together sets myself so imagine my disappointment when after purchasing 4 hobby boxes I’ve only compleatef approx. 75% of the base set! Topps could do a way better job,IDK maybe my boxes were filled on a Monday?

Seriously, no Mauer card?

Same old, same old garbage as last year and the year before and the year before and the year before. Topps has saturated the market with gimmicks and garbage to the point where it is no longer fun to buy. Who cares about pointless insert sets and parallels? It’s all smoke and mirrors. Just do the base set and decent autographs and be done with it. Almost all your products are a complete waste of money. Yea, I bought two boxes. Nowhere near a base set either. Why would I spend $300 or more to build a base set that sells for under $30? Why, Topps?

Broke two boxes, three autos were players only their mommas would know. Hit one of the super rare books of Phillips and he gets sent to the minors. Bummer, Come on Topps if you have hit that rare the players should be stars, not spares. You are forewarned.

Gotta love the card stock, and the touched up photos – but Topps has gotten too far from the design they used for 2011 Gypsy Queen which by far looked the best. Variations a little tougher to spot this year. Especially since the serial number font on the back of the cards is microscopic, lol

The one and only case I buy all year. Other years I loved the product. This one was a complete disappointment. No extra hits in with it. Just a bunch of junk autos not worth much.

Seth, sounds like you should switch to another hobby since you get so tore up about another collector commenting about the lack of inserts for his boyz. At least Tanner can call himself a true fan/collector. He comments about the products, and just happens to let others know that he’s looking for Canseco cards. I’m sure you can find someone that would find your comments amusing elsewhere, maybe stamp collecting. Just hope your not the same Seth Lugo that pitches for the Mets.

What is the exact measurement of the Glass Works cards?

Hi. My son just pulled a rookie auto, full size, with a wood back–#ed /24. Am I missing these above or are they one of the unmentionedables that we all figure out along the way? It has the card number of the regualr auto, but the particular type isn’t listed–and it’s a Topps Chewing Gum back. Anyone else found one of these yet?

Bought 2 Hobby Boxes today and completed the base set with around 40 doubles..not bad..

Long time reader, first time reviewer. I am only making a review because I purchase one case of cards a year and it is always Gypsy Queen. I was worried about this set after all the reviews. Now that I have my case and have opened a few boxes; in my opinion, this is a beautiful set.

Looking forward to seeing that Syndergaard auto patch book card.

Oof, these early year sets have been pretty brutal for the Braves

I like the new more colorful look. Does not seem to be an Acuna in the set but otherwise some good hits.

Tigers are a Doube A team,and don’t deserve the paper to print them on. Only team worse, is the Single A Cincinnati Reds, which are the laughingstock of baseball…

Got away from beginning too much ! Also TIGERS do have Big following ! Yes they are lousy right now . This is how ASTRO”S were NOT very long agao. They also had very few cards in any Baseball sets . Now look at them . However they should realize that just because they have small market ,Does not mean that there is not a good size following.

Nobody cares about the Detroit Tigers. Stop your whining. Every product the same story. This product is terrible no Tigers. Geez you are almost as bad as Tanner peddling for Jose Canseco cards. I have and idea for you. Stop buying cards. Better yet switch to Panini. But nobody cares that your precious Tigers aren’t in a set enough.

UGLY and gosh Topps, I guess you really don’t want the Detroit fan market. ZERO inserts for Tigers, I guess the base cards were just fillers.

A lot of products coming out too soon. Lineups, free agency, trades aren’t over yet. Be nice to see new players in our teams colours for this season. It’s getting pretty slack at topps. It’s all in the detail. Too many products. Too many bad products.

I think they look awesome

Really disappointed. The main reason why I would buy a bunch of boxes of these was the old style and feel. I agree with the two above posters. I will most likely skip these this year.

3 words.

These are ugly.

I understand you have to vary the look of the set but it looks like the design coloring is moving very much away from the original aspect.
