Let’s See Some Gypsy Queens

[oldjudge]

David-No, they are a later Gypsy Queen issue. The rare ones are the ones with the banner at the top.

Incredible cards Brent. That Sullivan is mind boggling!

Here are some of the actress cards, courtesy of the Met web site from the Burdick Collection. This shows that Gypsy Queens were a multi-subject set (baseball, boxing, actors, etc) just like all Goodwin & Co. 1887 photographic issues.

in my type collection I have a Mary Albert GQ. It sits next to my N167 GQ actress - which is the designation number I think you meant you weren't interested in :-) Nice pack - perhaps from Dennis G.(?)? I have the carton - looking for a pack.

Yeah, the seller was a complete idiot. Listed Sullivan at a low BIN in the tobacco card section rather than the boxing card section and didn't understand the difference between the GQ types.

A fool and their money...

Henry-I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, but as you know N167s predate this type of Gypsy Queen. I'm not sure what the other actress card you are mentioning is. Why not post an image.

just that you had mentioned something like not the lithographed N162 and felt you meant not the n167. Sorry about that. In any event I have a GQ n175 mary albert residing in an SGC 60 holder. It's on a display shelf that's very difficult to get to. I promised someone a pic of a presidential heads BB card on the same shelf - maybe three weeks ago :-( I'll try and get to it next week if you need it.

oooops..... I'm have word juggling episodes it seems. I meant if you need the picture. Wondered why the exuberant thanks and I re-read my post. I would however entertain some sort of trade favorable to me O) as you are showing interest in one of my types!

Thanks Henry!
