Baseball Card Show Purchase #4 – Wade Boggs 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen – Brown Paper Frame
As many of the readers of ’30-YOC’ know, I am a big fan of the Gypsy Queen baseball card brand.
I have picked up a lot of singles from the 2012 set over the last year, but primarily just base cards.
This card was found in the dime bins at the card show.
It is the ‘Brown Paper Frame’ card of Hall of Famer, Wade Boggs!!!
The scan is a little rough on this one, but trust me when I tell you that this card looks great in person!


Great Card! I am so jealous. I love the Red Sox.
FiskFanatic- Thanks! I was really happy to pull this one!
Another great GQ card!! I can’t wait for the 2013 cards to be released!
Matt- Not soon enough, my friend. What is it – an April/May release?
I think 4/1/13 is the release date for GQ.
Cool- ill check tonight to confirm, but this is one release that I plan to buy a bunch of!!!
Definitely! I would love to pick up a hobby box and get a couple autos out there!
Matt- I agree. I hope the guys I go after are part of this year’s checklist
Haven’t found a complete checklist but I did see a triple auto of Billy Williams, Banks and Sandberg.
Matt- I’d love to see Fergie Jenkins get some Gypsy Queen love!!!
That’d be nice to see HOFers that played for multiple teams get GQ cards for each team. Also I read in Beckett that 4/3/13 is the release date.
4/3 – I can’t wait!!
