2022 Topps Throwback Thursday


Year: 2022
Manufactured: Topps
Set: Throwback Thursday
Card Number: 12
Print Run: 741

My first new Yount card of 2022 and my first new 2022 Yount card is this awesome Throwback Thursday from the 4th set in the first subset that uses the 1983 Topps Football design.  Topps revamped their Throwback Thursday sets last year and now each week a new 3 card set is released on their website.  They release 4 sets all with the same design and then move on to the next 12 cards design set.  So this year Topps started with 1983 Football, the set after this is 2008 baseball (and I would have loved a Yount in the design as well), but I love the 1983 Topps Football design and if the image looks familiar it is.  It's the photo artist Jared Kelly used for Robin's Living card from last year.


The overall print run for the set was only 741 and I had really hoped I might have snagged one of the super rare parallels, but alas all I got was the base cards.  Robin also came with Vlad Jr and Tatis Jr in the set and I thought they might garner a bit more of a print run but under 1000 is pretty nice and makes this a nice low print run card.  

Did any of my other Yount collector's pick this one up?

First new Yount of the Year - On the Radar - 2022 Topps Throwback Thursday

 

What a surprise this morning to check out Topps.com and see that Robin is featured as one of the three new cards in this weeks Throwback Thursday offering.  I'm still working on a end of year post for the blog, but I had to throw this out on the webs first.  Anyways this card is being offered along with a pair of juniors (Vlad and Tatis) till next Thursday.  You can pick a set up for $14.99 at Topps.com

The first 12 cards this year are featured in the 1983 Topps Football design.  So I guess now I have to start the 2022 Checklist page.

2014 Topps Throwback Thursday 1980's Online Exclusive Postcard

Card Manufacturer: Topps
Card Set: Thowback Thursday 1980's Postcard
Year: 2014
Card Number: NNO
Card Type: Online Exclusive box set
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial number: 33/49


What better way to celebrate Thurday then with a throwback?  A Topps throwback.  These cards were part of a larger 15 card set you could only find on Topps.com.  Topps did a 2014 version and these 1980's versions.  I for the life of me couldn't  find a full checklist for the sets.  Topps website isn't very helpful.  But I've pieced together the 15 card set from the internet.


Wade Boggs 
George Brett
Gary Carter
Dwight Gooden
Tony Gwynn
Orel Hershiser
Paul Molitor
Jack Morris
Dale Murphy
Eddie Murray
Cal Ripken, Jr
Ryne Sandberg
Mike Schmidt
Ozzie Smith
Robin Yount

The cards measure 5x7 inches and are hand numbered to only 49!  I think I was pretty lucky to be able to pick this guy up for about 5 bucks.

The card has a very 1980's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air look to it. But a great oddball and I'm a lover of all things oddball.
