Set: Topps Gypsy Queen - Autograph Garments Black (Rate)

Card: #AG-DE Dennis Eckersley


“ An autographed SN1 Eck is always sweet. But I have no idea what that MEM is and the wallpaper stuff makes the card a bit too busy for my taste. ” -Uncorrected Error

“ Now THAT is a cool card! Does a button count as a patch? It is sewn on, after all! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like the AU and the button, but I hate this design. It is WAY too busy for what should be a simple card design. Gypsy Queen (and A&G too) is always too busy for my taste. Couldn't Topps just drop all the swirls and put a plain photo with an AU spot and the hole for the button?! The back is missing basically everything that Topps was known for over many decades. ” -spazmatastic

“ Cool. Don't see cards like this in RCOTD often ” -Lennoxmatt

“ Whoa...isn't this the second SN1/1 to pop up very recently? ” -rmpaq5

“ Wow, that's a damn nice piece of someone's collection right there. And a 1/1 to boot. ” -mkaz80

“ Wow very nice Auto card. UGH typical "Congratulations" spiel on back. Holy Cow its a 1/1 "Garments" does that mean the "relic" on this card is a button? Hard to tell from the scan what it is. I thought it was some kind of gem. Shame being colored white it blends into the design of the cards and looks like part of the intended design. ” -captkirk42

“ Gypsy Queen cards can be a bit busy with graphics and visuals. I think this one strikes a good balance with photo, autograph and a piece of memorabilia. Having something as specific as a uniform button is very neat, and works especially well as a 1 of 1. ” -Toddbwd

“ This is a cool card in a set that has otherwise run its course and needs to go away. I don’t mean to be one who just chimes in to point out flaws with the COTD but Gypsy Queen as a set is such a piece of crap boring product I couldn’t sleep at night if I didn’t say so. Too many artsy cards as it is. ” -BrewerAndy

“ Makes my 1976 Topps card seem meek in comparison. ” -UKboogie

“ It's busy, but still has a pretty cool look. ” -muskie027

This is a beautiful card.  An actual signature, not just some scribble.  Great design!  Wish I could add one to my collection...

As soon as I saw this card, or anytime I hear Eck's name anymore I think of Mike Birbiglia.  If you've never seen his standup special, I'll link it below.  He does drop an f-bomb or two, but its not an obscene amount.  It's pretty funny as well.
