<b>[[2011 Topps Gypsy Queen]]</b> was released April 25, 2011. Collectors are discovering that Gypsy Queen is a different product than what Topps originally advertised in late 2010. The base set has been reduced to 350 cards and early reports of hobby box breaks are yielding one less autograph. See the official [http://www.toppsblog.com/?p=881 Topps statement] for more info on the missing autograph. In addition, there are numerous inserts (Sticky Fingers, Wall Climbers) that were not on the original sell-sheets. We will have more information on Gypsy Queen as it becomes available.

Because this product was released almost halfway into 2025, BCP does not consider it a "2024" product.
</div>

<div style = "class">
<b>[[2011 In The Game Heroes & Prospects Series One]]</b> was released on February 24.  Known for their "high-end" hockey and multi-sport releases, this is In The Game's first ever baseball card release.  Each five-card pack will contain four autographs and either A) a fifth autograph, B) a cut autograph, or C) a game-used memorabilia card. As with their hockey cards, ITG does not have either an MLB or MiLB license, and as such all visible logos have been concealed.
