Jose Reyes Gypsy Queen Relic

It's always tough for us collectors to decide whether we are going to continue collecting a player who leaves via trade or free agency.  I've decided to continue collecting Jose Reyes cards.  What is especially nice about this particular 2012 Jose Reyes card is that he is depicted in his Mets uniform, and that made my decision to pick it up to compliment my David Wright relic from the previous post quite easy.



I think it is appropriate since the relic is clearly from a Mets uniform.  At the same time it is kind of odd, since Reyes is depicted in his Marlins uni in both the base Gypsy Queen card and the sliding stars Gypsy Queen card (both of which I still need).



Nevertheless, it made me happy to pick up a nice 2012 MET Reyes relic card to add to my collection hopefully to be followed by the non-Met Reyes cards from Gypsy Queen soon.

    I got both Reyes relcs from 2012 GQ (both Mets). I love the fact that they are correct in showing him in a Mets uni since that's where the swatches are from. The base and inserts should be from Miami since that's his current team. (I will NOT be collecting Reyes Marlins cards except for sets since he ran to a rival team)

    It just makes so much more sense that way!
