2011 Topps Gypsy Queen

Another new set by Topps this year.  Let's hope I don't get a gypsy insert card.  These are baseball cards and that's what I want to see!  2 packs with 6 cards per pack.

Pack 1 - Hunter Pence, Wade Davis, Orlando Hudson, Chris Coghlan, Bob Gibson mini red gypsy queen back, Johnny Bench The Great Ones insert

Pack 2 - Johnny Cueto, Ubaldo Jimenez, Heath Bell, Brian Bogusevic RC, Hunter Pence mini, Jackie Robinson The Great Ones insert

No gypsy cards!!  Nice looking cards.
