Kershaw Gypsy Queen 2016

After adding the orange auto /25, I really wanted to snag a red /5, but I figured it would be impossible.  Lucky for me, someone ended up listing a red, and although I figured it would be a long shot, I ended up winning the auction, and best of all, I paid only slightly more than I had for the orange.  The card is definitely not 9.5 material, but I've noticed that the Gypsy Queen autos in this years product have had a lot of imperfections and corner dings.  I'm starting to feel like Topps purposely does this!  The card itself is really slick, and IMO it looks better than his auto card from 2015 Gypsy Queen.  Overall it's a nice addition to the PC, and I'm happy to have it:

  1. Beautiful... Love it.
    I believe Topps does it as well just like I think/know players know about it as well as I see Kershaw (among others) signing to edges knowing that hurts grades.
    Nonetheless congrats

    1. Talk about shady! Topps can pretty much do whatever they want at this point. They have no competition anymore. At least when Upper Deck was around, it forced Topps to step up their game.

    1. Thanks! Let me know if you're ever interested in moving that Kershaw/Ethier dual auto from Marquee. I'm sure you want to keep it, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Your collection is amazing!
