2026 Topps Now World Series Champion - Milwaukee Brewers Yount card

Whew I think I can finally breath.  What an incredible year for Milwaukee baseball!  I was nine when the Brewers went in 82 and I don't remember it at all.  

Topps was ready though, mere seconds after the win I got an email from Topps with the World Series Champions set.  A 15 cards set with one bonus card that is either a parallel (most likely), an photo image variation SP (also very likely), an autograph or relic auto (both extremely unlikely).

But if you happen to spring for the $70 pack, you could get (most likely a redemption) for a triple auto featuring Robin, Paul Molitor and Christian Yelich.   

The mock up image on the website shows the 1 of 1 FoilFractor, I'm not sure if there will be parallels or if there is really only one card.   

I am looking forward to 2027 Topps and hopefully some cool Brewers World Series cards to chase.

2026 Topps Now Card #810 - Yount Checklist

 What the what??  Robin Yount gets his first Topps Now card!!!  I'm glad I just happen to pop over to Topps.com and notice this was up.  I think I had less than 2 hours till it closed, but I ended up picking up a 5 pack.  Mainly for just slightly better odds on the parallels and chance at an autograph!! 

Obviously I'm a huge Brewer's fan but unfortunately missed getting to see the first pitch live, although thanks to the internet I was able to watch it later.  Robin threw out the first pitch during game one on Friday October 23rd, 2026. 

Besides the base card there are 5 foil parallels and 3 autograph parallels.  It's also possible there will be Chrome parallels but I doubt the amount purchased will reach the 50,000 threshold for that.

I'll post a Youtube video when I get them in.  I'll update the print run and add parallel images as they show up.

1983 Topps Stickers #145 and 146

Year: 1983
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Topps Stickers
Sticker Numbers: 145 and 146
Sticker Type: Base


Breaking my own rules featuring two stickers at once, but with a pair like this it has to be done.  I mean if I just featured sticker #146 we'd be looking at Robin's butt. 

Robin gets 5 stickers in the series. It doesn't hurt they went to the World Series the year before and Robin won his first MVP award.  Stickers 145 and 146 form a larger complete picture that was featured in the Record Breakers section of the '83 Sticker Album.  I've found some images of the pages below.








Here is a bonus page with Robins #150 sticker in place.

2004 Topps World Series Highlights

Card Manufacturer: Topps
Card Set: Topps Baseball
Year:  2004
Card Number: WS-RY
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: World Series Highlights


One of my favorite Yount post career cards.  Just a great looking card in hand. It's shiny with a great picture and commemorates Younts awesome performance in Game 5 of the 1982 World Series.  For any Brewer fan the 1982 season was the crowning moment so far in club history.  It's also the reason so many Brewers fans like myself dislike the Cardinals, especially now that both teams are in the same division.

There is also a certified autograph version of this card that is high on my most wanted list.
