Year: 2019

Set: Topps Gypsy Queen - Missing Nameplate (Rate)

Card: #19 Mike Fiers


“ All these Oakland A's lately. I liked this GQ set, and actually have one of these No name on front. And Fiers is the guy who told us about the Astros cheating scandal. So I gotta like him. ” -switzr1

“ I'm not a fan of this type of variant. I'll take alternate images on anything, but intentional errors, not so much. ” -jackal726

“ I cannot get behind gypsy queen. I am not sure what it is. Allen and Ginter is much better. ” -parsley24

“ I like Gypsy Queen designs, so naturally I like this card. ” -BasketbalHQ

“ OK looking card. However I don't like these "missing nameplate" and "different logo" type variants that Gypsy Queen did for this set. Just Topps up to it's old games of too dang many variants/parallels. ” -captkirk42

“ All of the Gypsy Queen cards look similar to each other. The design is nothing to write home about. ” -Phil

“ I really like this design looks old ” -baylors

“ The card's front is a very nice visual. However, the back is lacking. Seems like Topps was unsure if they wanted to do a mini bio or go with stats. So they put together a mash up of both on the back. This card could have been so much more, imo. ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Did the 'Stros take my name now? ” -waxandwaxpax

“ I still hold out on collecting these. I do like the looks though. ” -muskie027

“ Never really understood cards like this that have errors there on purpose. Gypsy Queen is one of my favorite releases from Topps, but this could do without this insert subset ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Gypsy Queen is a pretty masterful art style, I usually dig it. The blank name plates just beg "caption this"... ” -Glowstone

“ Gypsy Queen! My favorite Topps product. It's the only set I pull for parallels. I love the Queen man. ” -CardFlipper1974

Can't decide if I like this design or not. Seem like an odd variant.

It is an odd variant and there are parallels on top of the base variant !!!! I like GQ - given the non photo aspect of the card, it is the more asthetic of them all.

English is not my first language and I am not American. Why is it ok to use the word gypsy in this?
