On the Radar - 2022 Topps Sterling Yount Checklist

 Robin's got some low numbered higher end cards to chase again in this year's offering of Sterling.  I'll add images when stuff starts popping up

On the Radar - 2022 Panini Diamond Kings Yount Checklist

 Robin doesn't get many relic cards anymore.  I'm assuming that's because most of his jersey were already cut up in the early 2000s.  But he is in the Jersey Kings relic set (and parallels) in this year's Diamond Kings.

On the Radar - 2022 Topps Tribute Yount Checklist

 Wow it's been a hot minute since my last post.  Even longer since my last new Yount card update. But Robin does a few autographs to chase in this year's Tribute release.  I'll add images when stuff starts showing up.

2006 UD SP Legendary Cuts - Place In History Signatures

Year: 2006
Manufacturer: Upper Deck

Set: SP Legendary Cuts

Card Number: PH-RY

Card Type: Insert Autograph

Insert Set: Place in History Signatures

Card Attributes: Autographed, Serial numbered

Serial Number: 54/99

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.

 

On the radar - 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Edition

 I had seen cards from this set pop up after Topps' VIP party.  The party held for those who pulled silver or was it gold?, tickets from 2021 products.  A couple people tweeted that boxes of 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Edition were given out to attendees.  Topps has had a chrome version of these product on it's products release calendar since early last year and like Big League has been pushed back again and again.  

The set features players on the 1952 Topps design and I was curious if Robin had made the set, but up until a few days ago I hadn't seen a card pop up.  But now I guess we can say that yes he does have a card in the set.  So one more to add to the 2021 set.  I think it's safe to assume if the Chrome version of this ever actually gets released the Robin will be in that set as well.  I have yet to see a checklist for this product so I'm not sure if it included parallels or not.  I will update this post if I can confirm any parallels.

On the Radar - 2022 Leaf Vibrance Mulit-sport Yount Checklist

 Leaf products always seems to fly under the radar for me and then smack me in the face with cards start showing up on ebay with Robin on them.  But is in the set, although he shares a card with two other big name Wisconsin legends.  The set TripliCITY Autographs is suppose to highlight 3 stars from the same city and at first I balked at this since Brett Favre is also on the card, but remembered up until 1994 Green Bay split games between Green Bay and Milwaukee.  

Anyways, Leaf's checklist is lacking in actual serial numbered, and just does the #d to or less deal. So I'll update actual serial numbering as more cards and parallels show up.

Also parallels are in groups, rainbow (whatever that means rainbow foil maybe?) Crystal, and Gold Circles.  I guess we'll find out what those are as stuff starts showing up.

With Robin sharing the card with Brett Favre and Giannis Antetokounmpo I imagine these cards will not be cheap no matter what parallel you go after.

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?
