On the Radar - 2023 Topps Archives Signature Series Retired Edition

 Robin is once again a featured player in the 2023 Topps Archives Signature Series Retired Edition.  And as always Topps doesn't actually put out a checklist of cards the Robin has signed.  If you don't know the premise of the release is Topps uses buyback cards and has the player sign them, they get a foil stamp and they are encased.  

Since a lot of the cards are very low numbered, even 1 of 1's, I'll be adding cards as I find them to this checklist.

On the Radar..err off - 2023 Topps Now #679 with Miguel Cabrera

 On August 8th Miguel Cabrera tied Robin Yount on the total career hits list.  He's since surpassed hit and is working toward Paul Waner, but his card commemorates the achievement.  More importantly we get new Yount card and Robin on a Topps Now card.  I totally missed this release so will have to chase the card on the secondary market.  There are also 5 parallels to look out for as well.


Here's the checklist



2023 Topps Now #679 (w Miguel Cabrera) PR835
2023 Topps Now #679 Blue #/49
2023 Topps Now #679 Gold #/1
2023 Topps Now #679 Orange #/5
