In addition to the N172 Old Judge set tobacco manufacturer Goowin & Co. of New York also produced Gypsy Queen Cigarettes and inserted tobacco cards of baseball players in packages of Gypsy Queen Straight Cut Cigarettes. Although this set mirrors its N172 counterpart in the images used it stands on its own in regard to rarity. N175 Gypsy Queens are extremely scarce cards and like all 19th-century cards image quality is everything. Luckily this GAI 5 Larry Twitchell really hits on everything that makes 19th-century card collecting great – an awesome image with impeccable clarity and contrast a rare brand name scrolled across the top of the card and an overall condition that is nearly completely unperturbed from its original state over one hundred years later.
