Gypsy Queen Baseball 2011

Working with a baseball card company comes with a lot of perks- there are the free boxes of cards, the tickets to random Red Sox games, and then of course, the unexpected.  I am talking about the head brand manager approaching you and asking you to dress up as a gypsy to be photographed and put on your very own baseball card.  Yes, you heard me right- MY very OWN baseball card!!!

This year, Topps came out with a new product with an old school twist- Gypsy Queen Baseball.  It's based on old baseball cards that used to be put into cigarette tins (Gypsy Queen Cigarettes) back in the 1800's.  We are bringing it back, and as part of the insert set, there are a number of Gypsy Queens- one of those gypsies being me!

Check it out!!!

Promotion!!

Well, I just wanted to send you all a little update from the wonderful world of the Topps Company.  In 2 weeks I will be moving to the sports department as the new sports editor for the company!  I was promoted yesterday and when I start I will be working for the baseball team, designing and creating new product!  I'm really, really excited about this opportunity- all the hard work I've been putting in really paid off!
