Collector's Den
If your in the Indianapolis area in July you might want to swing over to Collectors Den in Castleton Square Mall.

I busted a box of 2011 Gypsy Queen a few weeks ago, and as most I was missing an auto. About two weeks ago I finally got around to sending in my box bottom and my info and today in the mail I received from Topps my missing auto…… Drum Roll Please……

Overall not too bad, about the same insert as series one. I like the look of these patch cards even if they are manufactured, I didn’t like the amount of doubles that popped up in the first few packs. Good cards for the set builders
