Crinkly Chronicles: Part 1, GQ Frames

With Gypsy Queen, Version 2.0 on the horizon, I wanted to revisit my favorite insert set from 2011: The Year of My Return to card collecting.

This card is just spectacular, whether found in green or the arguably more sophisticated bronze.
Yes, the great framed paper sets. Whether the numbered bronze or the non-numbered green (found at retail outlets or maybe just Target, I can't recall), I loved them both. I still do and when Ted at Crinkly Wrappers recently mentioned he had some, I jumped on them.

He sent me five in total. I scanned four of them. Not shown is the green Stephen Strasburg.

Here are the others he did send.

A great addition of a player I collect.

They're just sweet looking cards and I hope to continue adding these as time marches on. If you have any extras, let me know. Thanks.

Here are the paper frames that I already own. Anything not listed here, I need.

  1. That Dawson makes me sad that I didn't collect any GQ last year.

    :(
