1989 Brewers Pocket Schedule (Miller - Married with Children ads)


Year: 1989
What: Milwaukee Brewers Pocket Schedule
Variation: Miller Lite/Married with Children/Fox 24 ads

A while back I was lucky enough to complete a Twitter trade with Bob aka (BT's Collection @Mets86champsT).  Bob asked if there were any other pocket schedule collector's out there and I piped up.  I'll admit I'm not a huge pocket schedule collector, but as a Brewer's and Yount collector they have their place.  

In the package of schedules was this great 1989 example featuring a great action shot of Robin.  Depending on the year there are multiple types of pocket schedules available and variations.  Like with this example there can be different ads featured.

Often times these schedules will also feature promotional nights, sadly this one doesn't.  But a great addition to the Yount collection.

2020 Topps Archives Purple

Year: 2020
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Archives
Card Number: 29
Card Type: Base Parallel
Parallel Set: Purple
Card Attrbutes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 102/175

I think I've mentioned this on the blog before, but about a month ago I finally put in my shipment request at COMC.  It had been over a year since my last request and I was itching to finally get my hands on the cards I had sitting in my portfolio.  Of course shipping is super backed up at COMC and my projected shipping and delivery date isn't until mid April.  Oh the waiting is the hardest part!! Included in the lot is over 200 cards and quite a few of those feature Robin.  I've already added them to TCDB and my collection here, but man it'll be nice to get them in hand and feature them on the blog.

So while we wait let's take a look at one of my favorite card designs featuring Robin from the past year. So much so that this is still my blog header as I write this.  I haven't bought much off of eBay in the last couple years.  That's mainly due to the insane cost of shipping one card in a bubble mailer.  That might change with eBay's standard envelope but we'll see.  But I did pick up this beautiful purple parallel off of the bay last year.  It was a mix of good timing, but also the seller had a cheap or free shipping, I can't remember.  The one thing that has irked me about Archives in year's past is that when Robin has been included in the base checklist he usually appears on a design that he was an active player and had a card featured in the original set.  Not so this year and I love the way his card turned out in the 1955 design. Which also happens to be Robin's birth year.

2021 Topps Series 1 Ultimate Robin Yount Checklist and Gallery

 The 2021 baseball card season officially starts next week and Robin has a bunch of cards to chase in Series 1.  

A few of the inserts listed in the checklist likely will have color parallels but were not specified in the released checklist.  I would suspect the 70 Years of Topps Base and Chrome version and the 86 silver packs to have color parallels and I'll update the checklist when those details become available.
