Extraordinary example, the highest-graded Gypsy Queen Schomberg assessed by SGC, "small" format N175r card with outstanding corners, edges, surface and image quality.  Similar to an N172 Old Judge in design, the N175 cards contain advertising for Goodwin's Gypsy Queen brand, issued in two different sizes (with identical images) that bear the same ACC designation.  The small format cards are virtually identical to N172 cards save for the advertisement outside the arched border at the top.  The cards are scarce enough that the checklist - currently numbering approximately 140 cards - is considered incomplete.  Gypsy Queen cards often exhibit the same type of contrast and image fading issues as N172 cards; an example with image contrast this strong is extremely desirable.
