Very rarely do I walk into my LCS and walk out with a new autographed card that goes right into my Yount PC. But last week it happened.
I wouldn't say my wife is supportive of my hobby, but she is very tolerant and to be fair that's good enough for me. In return I've tried to curb my spending and follow our budget. But I have made it a goal to try and acquire at least one new Yount auto a year. Last year I unfortunately did not get to add one to the collection. It's not that Robin doesn't have a ton of autographed cards to choose from and that there's not thousands up on ebay, but I had had my sights on the card that currently part of my blog header. Robin's 2021 Topps Archives Fan Favorite. But the card has been well out of my price range for the few that have come up for sale. But luckily last week I stopped by Don's Sportcards here in Anchorage, Alaska. Don has a corner in the store that he calls the Drop Zone. He puts cards up with a price near, but below book value and then every week he takes a few bucks off the card until it can ultimately drop to $1. I tend to peruse the boards looking for cheap trade bait to add to my trade box, but this beauty caught my eye - Robin's 2006 UD SP Legendary Cuts Place in History Signatures autograph card numbered to 99. Sure it's a sticker auto, but I can count the number of times on one hand I've found low numbered higher end Yount cards locally. The best part is it cost me over half of what a Yount auto typically goes for. But I'm going to count this as last year's autograph card I didn't get to pick up and hopefully I'll find the card I want this year.
