It's Gypsy Queen, French Beer and Pack Searchers on my Latest Youtube Video

Aloha, everybody, 

I made a Target run today, and you know what that means - Baseball cards are coming home with me. 

In today's video we'll rip a value pack of 2018 Gypsy Queen, get greased by a pack searcher, and review a French IPA. That's right - a French IPA. 

Join me below for all the fun. Aloha! 

It's A Sleepy Saturday - So Let's Rip Some Gypsy Queen

Aloha, everybody, 

There's not much going on this afternoon as I sit and wait for the Dodgers - Rockies game to start, so let's rip open these packs of Gypsy Queen that I picked up yesterday. 

They're the first of the 2016 GQ crop, so I'm hoping for some lucky pulls...

 Obvious nice ones to my eye were a couple of minis...

 

Booooooooooo!!!!

Here's a purple framed, numbered 164/250...
 

Power Alley insert, Chipper Jones...
 

Everything else looked like a base card. GQ is all new to me, so I have no idea of I caught anything short printed, so check your GQ cards when I send some out to you, as something precious may have missed my eye. 

There was nothing for my collection, so I figured I'd bust open some Topps 2016 as well. I opened two packs and pulled a couple from the Amazing Milestones...

 And finally, a Dodger...

Like the sign says, it's all trade bait, so just let me know if you want any of these. 
Aloha!

Past Gypsy Queen Binder Page Heroes

Welcome to another edition of Binder Page Heroes. 

Since the HOF recently inducted some new members, today ATBATT presents a binder page featuring some of the giants of the game - men who long ago earned plaques on those hallowed walls. 

The other reason I put this page together is I love Gypsy Queen cards. More than that, I love their inserts, and yet even more, I treasure those that have come to me in trades from all of you. 

Most of these cards came to me through trades, so you may recognize one you sent to me in the past.  Even if you didn't send one of these to me, you may recognize a great player from the past for your favorite team. 

Leading off is one of my all-time favorite players, and my vote for the best catcher ever...

 The extra bonus on this card is it features two members of The Big Red Machine (Bench and Davey Concepcion), but more than that, BOTH players on this card had their numbers retired by the Reds. 

 Tris Speaker is one of my favorites because he's got a name that was destined for baseball greatness, and he's got one of those cool old-time baseball sayings - his outfield position was "where triples go to die". 

And now a New York double headuh...

 How's this for a classic Yogism: "I really didn't say all those things I said." 

Another one of the greatest ever...

Continuing the domination of this page by east coast teams...
 

  
Sure DiMaggio was a great player, but he also married the woman that most American males over the age of 13 dreamed about.

 Aint these Hallmark Heroes absolutely beautiful cards? 

We started with Bench, so let's close out with Johnny B launching another one....

Aloha, ball! 

Wallet Card Bonus:
 Ex-Dodgers closer Eric Gagne celebrated his birthday this past week. Wallet Card took to twitter and my old "Game Over" t-shirt to wish Gagne a Happy Birthday:
