Insert Set 1984 Topps Baseball 35th Anniversary Tribute
COMC Black Friday Haul #46
Robin has a lot of cards to chase in 2019 Topps. One of my favorite inserts was the 1984 35th Anniversary Tribute Set. Well at least Robin's card in the set. A quick search on Getty Images reveals Topps used a photo from a 1980, sadly the actual date and location are not listed. The inset photo used is from a much later date as that is most definitely Yount as the elder statesman on the team. I've also included Robin's actual 1984 Topps card for photo comparison. The bigger difference is on the back with the card having Robin's stats through 1993, odd for a 1984 tribute and the stats start in 1978. But I won't complain as long as my favorite Brewer keeps getting featured in these sets it just means more to add to the collection. Or course card also has all the color parallels and gets the chrome treatment in the Silver Packs.
