Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>I think its an amazing card, trimmed or not, and extremely scarce. Regarding past sales of this card, there was a large N175 Ewing (cathing ball in the air pose) sold by Sothebys in 1991 in vg-ex condition.<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jay</b><p>It is an amazing card and I don't believe it is trimmed. I have seem about 10 large GQs over the years and I think it looks fine. However, I will report back when it arrives.

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>I watched in curiosity and thought it would go higher. It's always tough to tell from photos alone but doesn't look trimmed to me.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski

Posted By: <b>Brian H (misunderestimated)</b><p>Probably not trimmed.under the circumstances. And, even if it is how many of these are likely to be out there in any presentable condition? Any estimates?<br />

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Gypsy Queens are very tough but many don't think of them as much more than an OJ variation (kind of like a T206 back variation). The small and large N175s seem to be about equally tough on a "per pose" basis but since very few players/poses were issued larger format cards, they show up much less frequently.<br /><br />To put it another way, the number of small and large N175 Kelly, Ewing, Richardson (players with both small & large cards) sold on the open market seem to be roughly the same over the last several years.<br /><br />If you add the small & large Gypsy Queens together, their total population is less than some of the rarest 19th century sets like E223, N403, N690, etc. Many agree that Goodwin & Co. may have issued most of the 1887 Old Judges as Gypsy Queens, at least most of the short numbered & long numbered cards. When you consider that 133 different baseball subjects with 537 different poses were issued by Goodwin & Co. as Old Judge cards in 1887 (just short & long numbered cards) you realize the "complete" Gypsy Queen set is potentialy very large.<br /><br />The fact that a "complete" set likely numbers over 100 players with 100s of poses puts the card's rarity into better focus when fewer have been graded than much smaller sets.<br /><br />Gypsy Queens, great cards, I like 'em.<br /><br />Great pick-up Jay.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski
