A few weeks back this card popped up on eBay for the first time in almost five years. After a week of bidding, I ultimately lost out on the card to another bidder. I was very disappointed I wasn't able to land this card since it's one of three 2011 Gypsy Queen autographs I need to complete the set (the other two being Aaron and Koufax). I thought for sure I would have to wait years again for another copy to show up on eBay; however, image my surprise when another copy appeared a week later for a Buy It Now price that was $75 less than what my final bid price was on the card I lost out on. I'm extremely happy to add this card to my 2011 Gypsy Queen set build. Hopefully this year I'll be able to add one of the other two cards to my collection. I'm still trying to decide if I want to pursue the autograph relic cards from this set that are numbered to 25 copies. Some of the players in that checklist have autographs in the standard autograph set (Frank Robinson, Roy Halliday, etc.) but there's some players that only appear in the autograph relic set that are future Hall of Famers that command a premium (Kershaw and Cabrera). That would easily run me a few thousand dollars to put this set together and with other pre war Cincinnati Reds cards I'm trying to acquire, that would put a damper on chasing after those cards.
