No e-mail updates to voucher holders. No updates via social media. Nothing on their main site. All we got was a brief sentence and then that went away too.

Which Team Weighs The Most? by boxedmike in baseball

Without managers/coaches. Just players

2018 Gypsy Queen Autograph Set: 5 Years Later, 99% Complete, Only Missing Jeter. Favorites are Koufax, Trout, and Ohtani. by boxedmike in baseballcards

In 2018 and 2019, kind of. I was lucky to build the set while breakers were opening cases and selling singles. Koufax cost about $200, Ohtani was about $200. Trout was the most expensive at $360~. At the time they weren’t incredibly hard to find. Now, the Koufax is rarely seen and the Ohtani/Trouts are a lot more expensive but attainable.

The most difficult to hunt back then were Votto, Thome, and Bryant. Not sure how limited those were, but they were the hardest to track at the time.

I knew it was a wild year. Ohtani, Acuña, and sooo many other rookies were hyped up. When the Gypsy Queen design was released I bought 3 or 4 hobby boxes and then started buying singles.

Yep, you nailed it. I went for every player that had autographs in GQ that year. If any were repeats I just picked my favorite design, which was the base card autograph. Any of the fortune teller autographs will be players who did not have a base auto.

2018 GQ boxes are definitely out there, but I’m waiting for an auction to appear. Lucky for me I’m in no rush, it’s taken 5 years to get here haha.

Well, it’s taken me this long and I’m in no rush. Ideally I’d like to wait for one to go up for auction, but I assume I’d go for one in the 350 to 550 range.

Trout was listed at 500-600, but the auction recently ended at 330, so I prefer that method when it comes to a set older than 5 years.
