I was recently looking at the SCN trade list and came across a 2019 Tyler Austin Gypsy Queen card listed. I messaged Ken W who had it available and was excited to see he needed an extra Jared Burton card I got signed at Twinsfest years ago. We made an good, old fashioned trade! Today I received the Austin card and am excited to mark it off my need list!
