It's been awhile since we had a Topps Sterling card on the blog. When 2008 Sterling came out I was enamored by it. Not enamored enough to drop the $250-300 per box, but definitely enough to pony up for some great relic autos featuring Robin. The product was HOF themed and each box was player specific. Robin had 11 base cards in the set. Base cards were numbered to only 250 and of course there were parallels. While I have long since finished my Robin Yount base card set, I only have a few of the Suede White parallel cards. Numbered to only 50 they are the most numerous parallel in the set. The only difference between this card and the base card is the bright white border and the bold serial numbering to 50. Card 291 commemorates Robin's breakout 1980 season that earned him his first All-Star appearance and his first Silver Slugger award.
