So GQ

On lunch Friday, I ran (okay, drove) to the Target that's a couple of minutes from my office.  Cards weren't the reason, but I knew I'd leave with some Gypsy Queen if they had any.

They had three blasters and a handful of the three-pack blisters.  Initially, I put two blasters into my basket and went shopping for my other items.  I pondered it over the whole time and put them back.  Instead, I grabbed two of the three-pack blisters.  I love the green parallels and that's what it came down to.  I also got the two free Opening Day packs with them.

I've decided that I want to do this set.  I like both the design and images better than Heritage.  I don't hate that there are less SPs in GQ.  Here's a look at the goods!

2017 Topps Opening Day #41 Jose Bautista

2017 Topps Opening Day #34 David Ortiz
Two David Ortiz cards.  I'd like to say "thankfully I won't have to hear about him anymore," but there's always someone else that will get shoved down our throats.  If this guy gets into the Hall of Fame, then Edgar Martinez needs to go in as well.  The "he was a DH" argument will then be invalid.
If you're on Twitter, please give me a follow.  Happy collecting!

  1. I like the GQ design but if I buy any it will probably be singles down the road. I like your Opening Day selection more.
