I caved: More Gypsy Queen with a cameo by Topps Series 1

I'm honestly loving the new Gypsy Queen set, the same way I loved the National Chicle set last year. Still, when the opportunity arose to hit Target (ha, ha, ha), I caved, and went to get some more. Sadly, my local Target's gypsy queen stock was low, so to compensate I got a few packs on Topps series 1. Sadly, not much came out of those 2 packs of Topps:

David Price Checklist
Mickey Mantle Red Diamond
Nolan Ryan Topps 60
Ryan Howard ToppsTown
277- Trevor Hoffman
6- Neftali Feliz
95- Pedro Alvarez
Duos of Steve Carlton and CC SABATHIA
Johnny Cueto NotYoMamma card
Andrew McCutchen ToppsTown

But you didn't come for the Topps. No, you came for Gypsy Queen. I got 2 packs and a 4 pack racker.
