2011 Topps Gypsy Queen Bronze Framed Parallel

Year: 2011

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Gypsy Queen

Card Number: 61

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel Set: Bronze Framed

Card Attributes: Framed, Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 362/999

The color framed parallel is nothing new. Donruss did it way back in 2004 with Diamond Kings. And Topps brought it back with Gypsy Queen in 2011. The interesting thing is that only a portion of the set is paralleled with the framed treatment. Robin's been featured a few years. And of course like any parallel there are levels and exclusives.

I'm not a huge fan of gimmicks like this, but in this case it works well. Especially for the 2011 set which mimicked the original 1887 Gypsy Queen set in design which was kind of bland. The color and the frame add a nice, well... frame to showcase the player and make the background colors standout.

2004 Donruss Diamond Kings Legends Bronze Framed Dual Relic card

Card Manufacturer: Donruss

Card Set: Diamond Kings

Year: 2004

Card Number: 164

Card Type: Insert relic

Insert Set: Bronze Framed Dual Relic

Card Attributes: Relics, Serial Numbered

Relic Types: Jersey, Bat

Serial Numbered: 030/100

Here is a set that's going to be featured over and over again here on the blog. That'll happen when you have a gazzlion parallels and variations in your set. It really is an incredible feat if you can keep track of them all. I can't and I rely on keeping good notes on what I have so when I come across these cards I can figure out which ones I need.

This card comes in a whole rainbow of flavors. I'll hazard a guess without actually looking it up, but there are probably over 30 to 40 different versions of Robin's #164 card if you count all the color variations, relic and auto versions, and framed parallels. It's almost mind numbing.

But here we have a really nice dual relic. And I really like the dual relics that have different kinds of relics in them like this one. I apologize for the blurry image. This card is entombed in a screwdown holder and I wasn't going to take it out.

Serial numbered to just 100. There is also a nice blurb about the artist and Donruss even tells you what years Robin had Diamond Kings issued for him

2014 Topps Gypsy Queen Younts Gallery

This year's Topps' Gypsy Queen was released this Wednesday and Robin has a base card and all the parallels that go with that and an autographed card and those parallels as well. Robin's base card is #3 in the set and he also made the framed parallel checklist. With blue framed parallels numbered to 499 and silver framed numbered to just one and there are retail white framed cards. I'll post images of cards when I find them.
