2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Hobby Box Break
2 Autographs
1 Box Topper
7 Inserts
Release Date: 3/29/2017
Product Configuration: 8 cards per pack, 24 packs per box, 10 boxes per case
Tweaking things a fair amount from the previous year, 2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball drops the price point while continuing the legacy of the throwback-style release. Every hobby box includes two autographs and an oversized topper.
Although the set does indeed see a price reduction, the biggest change for collectors is the removal of several common features for the brand. Based on the initial info, 2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball apparently does not contain the mini parallels (and variations) and framed parallels. It also operates with a smaller primary set and drops the two guaranteed relics of previous years.
2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Base, Variations
Totaling 300 cards, the base set covers today's stars and key rookies. 20 additional Base Short Print cards offer legends of the game. Parallels add more collecting elements with Purple (#'d), hobby-only Black & White (#/50), Red (#/10) and Black (1/1). The sell sheet also promises "surprise parallels and hidden gems."
A collecting staple, Variations return in 2017 with a variety of choices. Among these are Capless Image Variation cards that, just as they sound, show players without their hats.
2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Autographs
Combining to fall two per box, 2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball signatures are led by the main Gypsy Queen Autographs set that utilizes the base design and hard-signed content. Parallels include Purple (#'d), Black & White (#/50) and Black (1/1) versions. Providing more excitement are the unannounced autograph variations teased in the solicitation.
Chewing Gum Mini Autograph inserts take their inspiration from tobacco cards with a numbered base and Black parallel (1/1). Other premium signed sets include Autograph Garments (#'d), which features a relic and on-card signature. One-of-one Black parallels substitute a game-used jersey button. Lace Around the League (#'d) also showcases hard-signed autographs alongside a relic. This time, game-used baseballs are displayed. The tri-fold Autograph Patch Book cards contain two player images with an on-card signature and multi-color patch.
2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Inserts, Relics, Toppers
More content comes as inserts like the new Fortune Teller Mini that tries to predict events for 2017 with a limited Black parallel (1/1). In addition, Portrait Art Reproductions puts an artistic spin on notable players. Only found in hobby boxes, Portrait Art Patch Originals (1/1) adds a quality relic piece to hand-drawn artwork.
Providing another element in every 2017 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball box, the oversized GQ GlassWorks Chrome toppers are a box hit exclusive to hobby. Added rarity comes with Purple (#'d), Red (#/25), Black (1/1) and low-numbered Autograph parallels.
