2011 Topps Gyspy Queen

Topps has come out with a new baseball set this year, Gypsy Queen. While it may be "new", it is really just a spin off from the mini cards of the Goodwin Champions set... Or... I am just overly critical. Whatever the case, I like the idea and the cards and I am interested to see how they come together.

Here is the sell sheet and info that was sent by Topps:

With 4 guaranteed hits per box (2 autographs & 2 relics), a gorgeous design and Sandy Koufax on-card autographs…the all-new 2011 Gypsy Queen Baseball is sure to be a winner!

So....... any interest in a case break of this product? I'm still toying with 2011 Heritage as a case break, but I need to see who is interested in which product. (Keep in mind we can always do both with enough people. If you want to do both leave a comment.)
