Cards 59 + 60: A Pair of Gypsy Queen

Gypsy Queen has long been one of my more anticipated releases each year.  The formula for why I liked it was simple.

There was a limited number of parallels to collect.
There was a limited number of tobacco sized mini parallels to collect.
The design featured bold frames and artistic looking photos.

Many people think that Topps could do away with GQ because of Allen & Ginter.  For those of us that collect baseball cards for baseball players I disagree.  Ginter is great for those interested in hot dog eating champions and former MVPs of the disc golf tournaments, but for those of us that like an artistic set with minis Gypsy Queen was the best set to collect.
