Stuff from the closet.

It's been awhile since I posted here.  I really haven't been adding to the collection in a while.  There just isn't that much stuff out there and Mr. Yount seems to be going through a renaissance and prices are up so it's hard to find anything affordable that's a premium.  So I've dipped into the closets to pull out some goodies.

First  we have my 3000 hit certificate.  Nope I wasn't there.  I was in class at the time, but I got this off of ebay for cheap.  I've seen ones with a full unused ticket go for big bucks but this is a nice keep sake.  I remember all the Wisconsin papers had Yount on the front page and front of the sports section the next day.

In the 80's Topps was experiementing with some retro ideas.  Here we see the 1988 and 1989 Topps Coins.

I think I have a 1990 coin somewhere too but I couldn't find it for the post.

I remember buying a few packs of these back in the day but never getting anybody really good.

Stay tuned as I pull more Younts from the Closet.

So Sorry

Sorry it's been awhile that I've made a yount post.  to be honest with moving and the new job I haven't been hitting my player collections as hard.  Well at least the Younts.  There are some new stuff out there with Tribute coming out but it seems that Mr. Younts popularity is increasing and thus prices for his cards are not as cheap as they once were.  And if I am anything its a opportunity collector and that means cheap.  So rest assured when i get back from my latest field trip I'll put something nice up here.  Until then enjoy the rants at 13 Tenets.

Some new additions

This is actually a Yo Momma Original Back, I have the regular one too.

Next I got 2 of the Chicle cards

Well it's been forever since I posted here and I've gotten a few new Younts to add to my collection.
Besides moving and getting engaged I've got a month and a half in Fairbanks to look forward too away from my sweetie and I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to post anything till mid July so  I figure I'd post it all here.

First and happily Robin has quite a few new cards this year with Topps.
The first card I got is this one.

Both the NC and regular backs.  Still waiting to get a Bazooka back and a Topps Back.

I also got the2009 Sterling White Suede card

And lastly I also got my 2010 Series 1 #116 variation

That's it for now.  I see that Robin also has a new hat patch card in Series 2 and another Yo Momma card.

until later.

2009 Sterling Suede

Well I was looking at my dashboard on blogger here and realize it's been well over a month since I posted anything about my Yount collection.   And it's to be expected I've moved since my last post.  And this is the first thing I've added to the collection in months.  It's been a slow Yount year.  I finally got my base Yo momma card.  I figured I would have gotten  one in all the topps I ripped but no.  So I've still got the Yo momma original back and his two hat patch cards and the variant to pick up but i'm patient. 

Anywho here I gots my Topps Sterling White Suede parallel numbered to 50.  Until next time.

Shameless plug for JD's Wildcarz Olympic Contest

I'm shameless yep and the rest of you are too. But I'll take 3 extra entries into any contest when they're this easy. JD's dad over at JD's Wildcardz is having an olymipic contest. There are still a ton of spots left so go over there follow the link and you may want to check the current list of available numbers. Sounds like there will be lots of kewl swag.

Some new stuff to add to the old Collection from Checkout my Cards!!

I ended up posting my whole experience over at Collector's Crack but here is what I got for the Yount collection. 

I've been helping update images at Trading Card Database which is a great resource for player collectors and set collectors alike.  By no means complete, they are always adding to the site and contributing images of cards is very much apprciated and incouraged. 

I like the interface at Checkout my Cards.  It's easy to search for a player and year.  It makes looking to see if they have what you want and makes window shopping easy too. 
The first card I got was a 1993 Upper Deck Fun Packs Glow Stars sticker.

I already had the regular issue but still couldn't find this insert anywhere till now.

Next we have a 1993 Pacific Spanish.

Again another relatively cheap card just hard to find.

And finally we have a 1991 Score 100 Superstar.

I find it interesting that these Score 100 cards are so cheap seeing as you could only get them in the 100 count blister packs and they came only one per pack.    My grand total for all three cards was .90 cents.  plus shipping which with COMC can get a little pricy when buying lots of cheap cards.

I'll be posting the Rollie Fingers cards I picked up in detail over at the Rollie Fingers Collector.

Until next time

2009 Topps Tribute Blue!!!!!

Well here are the last of the Younts from 2009.  Since I think Topps Tribute was the last baseball product of last year.  Anywho, it's nice to see old Robin in the set again. 

And the first of the parallels to my collction is this one.

It's the blue parallel numbered to 219.  Why 219? Who know's it's Topps.  I haven't even gotten the base card yet. But I will.  The card is absolutely beautiful.  But I'm not shelling out 50 bucks a pack so I'm going ebay for these.  I got this for minimum of 99 cents so that's nice.  Now all I have to get is the base, the black #'d to 99, the gold #50 and maybe if i'm super lucky I'll snag a printing plate.  I've already seen the red 1/1 and one of the printing plates go on ebay, both for about a hundred bucks.  Way to spendy for my frugal self. 

Here's what the back looks like.
