Year: 2018

Set: Topps Gypsy Queen (Rate)

Card: #199 Rhys Hoskins


“ Intentional error is not an error. Yuck! ” -vrooomed

“ I really like the front design. The vintage feel without it being a copy of an old design is really nice. It has to be an error though because on the front and back it says Washington Nationals and he has always been a Phillie. The back I wish had more substance. One sentence about a player is not enough and blank space and logo and legal stuff take up more space than info. The front I would give a 9, the back a 3. ” -davidhandberry

“ Went to my high school and college..... ” -Splinter_9

“ Roughly 65% of the back of this card is wasted space. Try harder, GQ. If you can't come up with more than 28 words and no stats, then maybe print on the back side of cereal boxes, instead. ” -kents_stuff

“ Obscure record on the back. ” -kirkscards

“ said it before but the term "Gypsy Queen" doesn't seem to fit for male athletes. but nice looking card ” -Thunderfoot

“ UGH I hate these intentional error card gimmicks as well as the "missing name" "errors". This one is a wrong team. ” -captkirk42

Ok, so dumb question.  I am seeing people say this is an intentional error.  What the heck is that?  They purposely made the card for him to say he is a National?  Why?  The intent is for the card to show his wrong team?  I am not getting it?  Why the Nats?  Is there a Phillie version.  This makes so little sense to me, I wouldn’t buy the set based on that alone.  I love baseball too.

Yes. Topps really did make fake errors. So incredibly stupid. Lots on controversy about it on the card blogs when the set came out, although I am not sure if is a controversy when everyone agrees that it's stupid. They also made missing name versions and missing black ink versions. They called them errors even though they were very much intententional and thus not errors (except for being an error in judgement)

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Being a Hoskins and Phillies fan, I don't care much for it having Nationals on it.  I have the Judge/Red Sox card as well.  I think the scarcity of these cards make them more fun to have.  Wasn't is something like 1 in 800 some packs?

Here's my hope...Phillies pick up Harper this season.  Next year, Trout comes back home.  Imagine that combo on one team...Harper, Trout, and Hoskins!!!!  A US Today writer predicted the same thing a week or two ago.
