Mail From Blog Reader Ryan

I've gotten several emails recently from blog reader Ryan.  Mostly about TTM ideas, and card searching in general.  I was able to hook him up with a 2011 Topps card that he needed for his set.  In return, Ryan sent me some really cool cards.  Here are some of the highlights:

 I'm really liking this Brian Roberts 2011 Gypsy Queen Black Mini.  Gypsy Queen was bashed by a lot of people, I thought it was pretty good.  It was almost impossible for me to get my hands on any packs; I think I opened two packs...
I'm really digging these green borders.  I doubt that is the official title of them, probably called emerald or something like that.  They look good regardless of what Topps decided to call them.  I still don't have very many Frank Robinson cards, when compared to cards of Brooks or Cal, so I think I need to get right on changing that...

Finally, how can you go wrong with Masterpieces.  I still love this set after al these years.  Maybe I'll build it at some point.  Maybe...

Anyway, thanks Ryan for the cool stuff.  You can email me with questions anytime, I'll be more than happy to answer them!

Gypsy Queen was bashed by a lot of people? Really? All I read was collectors fawning over it. I thought I was the only guy who didn't really like it.

Yeah, when the sell sheets came out, all I remember is people bashing it because it was yet another vintage redo. Maybe I missed the boat when they actually hit the stores (like I said, I only opened 2 packs), but what I remember was an initial negative response.
