Picked up a Rack Pack of Gypsy Queen at the big T this week. The rack went for $10 and included three 6-card packs plus a "bonus" 3-card pack of framers.
Here are the highlights althoug GQ really isn't my thing - pithy comments will be minimal.
2016 Topps Gypsy Queen Gary Sanchez (base & framed)
One of the three framed cards I picked up was Yankees prospect Gary Sanchez, We also picked up the base card which gives us the opportunity to put up the above side/side.
2016 Topps Gypsy Queen #321 Tony Perez (sp)
The bottom 50 cards in the GQ set are short-prints of retired players, mostly Hall of Famers. Thankfully the HOF SPs doen't interfere with building a set including today's stars. We will hopefully return to this one in our 1976 ASG feature. And there is a Sloppy Topps issue with this card as well.
2016 Topps GQ #133 Mike Trout
I am all for card photos from other POV, but this one strikes me as a lil dull for a superstar of Trout's caliber.
2016 Topps GQ Power Alley PA-7 Dave Winfield
Home Run Hitters Insert.
2016 Topps Mini MVP #MVPM-BL Barry Larkin
Between this and the Perez SP it was kind of a Reds Hot Pack. Neither the Power Alley nor Mini MVP insert sets contain any Phillies.
Alex Cobb, Mike Moustakas, Charlie Blackmon, Yasiel Puig
The rest of our minis and framed cards are above.
21 Cards no Phillies.

2016 Topps Gypsy Queen Andrelton Simmons, Jayson Heyward, Scott Kazmir, Zach Greinke
The April release date for GQ gives Topps more of an opportunity to photoshop players into their new unis. There were at least the above four among our 18 cards.

I feel your pain. Gypsy Queen gets me for at least a blaster every year...
