2016 Topps Gypsy Queen - All the Dodgers Base Cards

Here is a peek at the Dodgers base cards within Topps 2016 Gypsy Queen set.  Go here for a complete checklist.  Each card has a companion mini card, as well.  I show a couple examples in the photos below.  Also cards #301 to #350 are all short-printed, and with the exception of Maeda include only retired ballplayers.  Tomorrow, I'll share the known variations and some of the parallels.

UPDATE:  Thanks to an reader I've just learned that I failed to include Trayce Thompson's card in the below listing.  It is now included.

Kenta Maeda Dodgers Cards Now Available in Gypsy Queen

On the cusp of Maeda's debut this evening against the Padres, fans from the US to Japan can now get their very own Baseball card of him in a Dodgers uniform.  Officially released today is Topps 2016 Gypsy Queen set, and it includes three different Maeda cards to chase after (not counting the various parallels, of course).

As you likely know, Kenta does have a card in the recently released Topps Legacies set, but that is a redemption.  So, collectors do not yet have that in hand.  These Gypsy Queen cards, on the other hand, are the first of his to actually be found in packs.

Blog Kiosk: 8/26/2015 - Dodger Links - Some Odds and Ends

With the World Series just around the corner I thought the above photo of the Dodgers playing the Fall Classic in 1959 was worth a gander.  They faced off against the Chicago White Sox and eventually beat them in six games.  In the above photo they played in front of 92,000 eager fans at the LA Coliseum.  Photo via Lost Ballparks on Twitter.

I'm sorry, but as much as I recognize the importance of analytics, it is disrespectful for teams to overlook the value of experience when considering prospective managers. If the main prerequisite for managing is merely sharing and implementing the GM's vision, then a whole bunch of qualified people will continue to be shut out.
