On the Radar - 2020 Topps Rip Yount cards

 I guess it was only a matter of time.  Rip cards, one of the most popular aspects of Topps Allen and Ginter product, although not an A&G original idea, are now a set amongst themselves.


Available exclusively on the Topps website at the end of October, each $100 box boasts one pack of 4 rip cards.  Do you keep the card or rip it for what's inside.  And what could be inside?  Autos, rarer mini cards and of course parallels of those.  


Robin's not in the base rip card set, but is featured in the mini card set and mini auto set.  Here's the checklist for his cards.  I add images as stuff starts popping up.

On the radar - 2020 Topps x Super 70s Sports Curated Set




 Topps has a new online set as part of there Topps x brands this time is 70s themed with the Topps x Super 70s Sports - Curated Set.  Curated by Ricky Cobb who created and posts funny bits on his twitter account @Super70sSports.  I personally hadn't heard of him, but I'm not hip or with it at all so that's not surprising.  Regardless Robin as a card in the base set.  Sadly he's not featured in any of the inserts or the autograph checklist and I'm not sure if there will be base card parallels to the set.  There's no indication that there are on the Topps website, but doesn't mean there's not.

2020 Topps Online - Topps x Super 70s Sports # 47

You can pick a pack up for $25 on Topps.com till mid-November.  Each pack contains 20 cards (18 base and 2 inserts) with a 1:3 shot at an auto.  I picked up a box to try out and to maybe score a Yount card.  There are also a few other players I collected featured in the set.

2020 Topps Allen and Ginter X Yount Checklist and Gallery

 Since Robin was in the base A&G set it's no surprise we have X cards to chase.  I'm also expecting he'll have a Chrome cards and refractors in the first edition of Allen and Ginter chrome later this year. Here's Robins card in this year's product.

 Rejoice Yountophiles, Robin is in the base set of this year's Gold Label, that means lots of card to chase.  I think this might be the first time since the brand was introduced in the 90s that he's featured in the base set.  In previous sets he has been in the inserts.

1990 Topps Career Batting Leaders

Year: 1990
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Topps Flagship
Card Number: 15
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Career Batting Leaders

Distributed as an exclusive insert to the K-Mart 100 card blister packs these Career Batting Leader cards are not all that easy to find.  Robin's 1990 card features the exact same photo and layout as his 1989 K-Mart card, except in red.  I found this well loved copy in the 50 cent box at Don's Sportcards, one of my LCS', here in Anchorage, Alaska.  The bottom part of the card has some issues, but I knew I didn't have a copy of this card or it's 1989 twin so picking it up for a couple quarters was an easy decision.

2020 Leaf Superlative Sports - Spectacular Patch

 I would have labeled this post the 2020 Leaf Superlative Sports Yount checklist, but Robin has only one card in this set.  Literally one card.  And it's been pulled and up on eBay, so to document the card here you go.  I've added this one lone card to the 2020 master checklist.
