When you turn the card and you see a big mess


I bought my first ever Gypsy Queen box!


Not many cards because there are only 8 packs (7 + 1...Topps people like to do math).


Which means I'll get the announced 48 cards if I get 6 per pack meaning no hit or it would make me get less cards.


I didn't get any hit if you are wondering.

But since I'm happy with...well...simply getting cards I don't mind not getting autos or relic cards.

And since I got some players I collect and a few inserts and some of them are combos, like this Jeter card (insert + great moment/photo + Jeter + Yankees) I was happy with my luck.


And look! I even got this beauty numbered blue framed Robinson!


My happiness was right there! Way up high!...

...

Until I turned the card and saw it was damaged.

The one and only...was damaged!

 The box was wrapped all right and the packs were all good.

But *the* card was damaged...

I suppose it was damaged while being inserted in the pack tracking back to Topps auto-insert-cards-machine.

It's a shame but I think I'll treasure it even more.

Damaged cards deserve all our love and even more than the mint cards.


All in all...It was a good first approach at buying GQ cards. The couple of them I possessed until now were all from trades. I'm liking the set a bit more. Still prefer A&G but GQ might come right at 2nd place.
