2019 Topps On-demand 150 Years of Professional Baseball

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: On-demand 150 Years of Professional Baseball

Card Number: 130

Print Run: 815

I posted about this card when it was made available on the Topps website late last year.  Robin was in the last round of weekly offerings.  The set had a bunch of different themed sub-sets: Rookie Campaigns, Historic Moments, Artist Renditions, and Records and Award Winners.  I was hoping that Robin was going to get the Artist Rendition treatment, because Graig Kreindlers art is incredible, but I'll settle for Robin just being in the set.  Robin's card commemorates his 1982 MVP season and award.

The last post featured Robin's first card in this insert set and now it's time for the other.  The 150 Year's of Professional Baseball Series 1 insert was subdivided into 3 sub-sets, Greatest Players, Greatest Seasons, and Greatest Moments.  This card celebrates Robin's great 1982 season in which he took the Brewers to their only World Series appearance and he won his first MVP title.

COMC Black Friday Haul #35

Last year Topps celebrated the 150th Anniversary of professional baseball with multiple insert sets highlighting all sorts of topics.  One of the continuing inserts was the 150 Years of Professional Baseball.  Series 1 had 150 cards, Series 2 had 100 more cards, but this time broken down into the 3 separate sets, Greatest Players, Greatest Moments, and Greatest Seasons, with their own card numbers, and Update had another 100 cards featured, back in a single set.  Topps sure didn't want to make it easy.  Anyway, Robin has two cards in the set both from Series 1.  One in the Greatest Players sub-set and the other which I will feature later in the Greatest Seasons.  This card highlights his two MVP awards, 3000+ hits, etc.

COMC Black Friday Haul #16

This year I picked up almost all my 2019 Yount cards off of COMC.  This is another one of those cards from the haul that was part of my big yearly shipment, but not actually purchased on Black Friday.  This card was picked up 3 days before the event, but I had a hard time passing it up for the price.  

Some people really hate these manu-relics, some love'em.  I'm very middle of the road and it really depends on the card.  Topps in the past has done some really nice manu-relics.  This one I'm not quite sure of.  These cards were blaster bonuses for Series 2 and the term patch is a little misleading or maybe just used wrongly all together.  The manu-relic really isn't a patch, at least in anyway I think of patches or swatches.  It looks to be made of plastic or foam.  It doesn't look terrible just seems kind of, well kind of pointless or maybe redundant.  That being said it most definitely has a place in my collection and the overall look of the card isn't terrible.

On the Radar - Topps Online 150 Years of Professional Baseball on-demand card

I was hoping Robin would be featured in this set.  I was really hoping he'd get an artists rendition card and he still might.  Robin has card #130 in the set and celebrates his 1982 MVP award.

Like the rest of these cards these will be available till next Tuesday or you can wait and pick them up on the secondary market.

This card has been added to the master 2019 checklist along with all the other 5x7 and new 10x14 posters available on Topps.com.
