2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Variations Gallery & Checklist
As has been the case for a few years, the 2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball variations come in several forms with a handful of parallels.
Unlike other brands that mainly just swap photos without a consistent theme, 2020 Gypsy Queen variations only deal with special-event uniform images.
However, let's dive into the parallels first, since that is typically a source of confusion for Gypsy Queen.
2020 Gypsy Queen Baseball Base Parallels
*All odds noted below are for Hobby packs.*
The 2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball checklist works in a mix of cardboard quirks that add, remove or switch portions for all 320 base cards. In general, these are just base parallels and not variations, but the image variations have parallels, as well.
2020 Gypsy Queen Missing Nameplate Parallels
The Missing Nameplate parallels naturally remove the player's name from the front of the card. These average 1:23 packs for the base set and 1:605 for the base short prints (SP).
2020 Gypsy Queen GQ Logo Swap Parallels
There are also the GQ Logo Swap parallels that substitute the standard "GQ" logo for a stencil-drawing of a woman in purple and white. These fall at 1:31 packs for base and 1:1,210 packs for base SP.
2020 Gypsy Queen Bazooka Back Parallels
The third parallel is the toughest at 1:61 packs for base or 1:1,817 packs for base SP. The Bazooka Backs feature a full gum ad on the back in place of the standard card back.

2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Variations
In terms of the 2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball variations, collectors can chase two returning options and one new set. The assortment consists of short-printed Jackie Robinson Day (1:152 packs) and Player's Weekend (1:150 packs) images, along with the debut of Armed Forces Day SSP cards (1:1:1,210 packs).
All cards except Armed Forces Day offer GQ Logo Swap and Black parallels, while the Jackie Robinson set also works in signed versions for select players.
In addition, a few of the Armed Forces Day cards are surfacing in Retail formats with die-cut/rounded edges instead of the standard corners. The rounded style matches the look of the Tarot inserts, but, other than that, they appear to be exactly the same as the regular Armed Forces Day. It appears these are a production error rather than an intended variation.
2020 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball Variation Codes

I noticed Aaron Nola has two base cards; #231 & #282. The codes on the back are the same, the front photos are different, and the bio on the back is different. Can you help? Thanks!
Trey Treutel
It’s just two different base cards for the same player. Sometimes Topps does this. These aren’t variations.
