2016 Topps Transcendent Collection Sketch Reproduction

Year: 2016
Manufacture: Topps
Set: Transcendent Collection
Card Number: TSCR-37
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Sketch Reproduction
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 56/65


Yesterday I finally got my COMC package from their Black Friday event.  I picked up a ton of new Younts from the Black Friday sale, but I also had a bunch of cards sitting in my portfolio that I had been picking up all year since the last Black Friday sale.  The package took almost 2 weeks to get to me.  COMC used Pitney Bowes as a third party shipper.  If COMC had just put my package in the mailbox or had USPS pick it up it most likely would have been in my mailbox about 3 days after mailing in from Redmond, Washington.  Instead the package took a trip to Nevada, then spent 4 days in California and then disappeared for 4 or 5 days till it showed up in my mailbox.  That being said my cards were very well packaged and none were damaged and to be fair COMC's delivery estimate was January 4th.  Ahem anyways, this year I picked up 53 new Younts from COMC. COMC has become my main avenue for picking up new Younts.  So for the next couple months I'll be presenting all the new cards I picked up.

First up is the one card I really wanted to get my hands on and it was by far the most expensive card I've ever bought off of COMC.  But this card also happens to come from, at least at the time, the most expensive baseball card product every made.  I had been watching what some of these Sketch Reproduction card have gone for in the past and I was happy to pick it up for about $25.  I picked this card up during COMC's Spring Cleaning sale way back earlier in the year and have been looking at it in my portfolio just waiting to get it in hand.  I have no illusions that I'll ever own the original sketch of this card, but I'm happy to add this unique card to my collection.  And this one will start off the COMC Black Friday collection posts.

2016 Topps Gypsy Queen Mini Purple

Year: 2016
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Gypsy Queen
Card Number: 334
Card Type: Mini Parallel
Parallel Set: Mini Purple
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 061/250

Topps stopped making the mini parallels for Gypsy Queen a few year's ago.  I may be the only one who really likes the parallel in both Gypsy Queen and Allen and Ginter.  When Gypsy Queen first came out hobby boxes also featured a "box topper" mini box of exclusive mini card parallels and variations. Sadly that too is gone.  Ahem, anyway here is Robin's 2016 purple mini parallel card.  The purple isn't all that eye popping, but still a nice parallel to track down.

2016 Panini Diamond Kings - Heritage Collection Sapphire

Year: 2016
Manufacture: Panini
Set: Diamond Kings
Card Number: HC1
Card Type: Insert Parallel
Insert Set: Heritage Collection
Parallel Set: Sapphire
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 11/25

Continuing with my 2018 Black Friday haul from COMC is the rarest of the Younts I picked up over that last year.  I actually bought this one way back in February.  It was hard to pass up for a little over $3.  The sapphire parallel numbered to only 25 is the only parallel for this set and the blue foil really pops in hand and doesn't look to bad scanned as well.  I'm surprised I found a copy of this card at all, let alone for so cheap.  And I'm really glad I was able to add this one to the collection.

2016 Topps Stadium Club Black Foil Parallel

Year: 2016
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Stadium Club
Card Number: 227
Card Type: Parallel
Parallel Set: Black Foil

I had had my eye on one of these last year around Black Friday time and it got snagged right before I went to buy it.  But in this game patience usually pays off.  Sometimes with just finding the card again, but sometimes finding cheaper too.  There were a few of us Yount fans that had an interesting discussion about this card when it first came out.  I personally really like this card.  I've posted before about the photo shoot this image came from.  Robin's 1995 Pinnacle Sidelines subset card also came from this photo shoot.  And out of all the cards in the set this is the only one that portrays the play doing another sport.

2016 Topps Allen and Ginter X - Mini

Year: 2016
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Allen and Ginter X
Card Type: Mini Parallel Base
Card Number: 117

A black card from Black Friday.  Well at least from my Black Friday shipment. I picked this up quite a while ago.  Allen and Ginter X is one of those Topps.com online only exclusive money grabs that pretty much is just like regular Allen and Ginter, just with few inserts and the background is all black.  Still a Yount is a Yount and it's got a place in my collection along side it's full size counterpart.

2016 Panini Diamond Kings Heritage Collection

Year: 2016
Manufacturer: Panini
Set: Diamond Kings
Card Number: HC1
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Heritage Collection

Maybe it's just me, but I love getting new Yount cards. And I'm not talking about autos and relics.  I'm talking about just a nice plain old insert like this one here.  Sure it doesn't have logos and Robin's photo is in black and white, which is probably better then having to look at the terrible photoshop colors Panini changes the uniforms to.

Overall a pretty appealing card the gold foil works well with the dark card.

2016 Panini National Treasures Baseball Yount Checklist and Gallery

Panini finally released the official checklist for National Treasures and this is suppose to be the last MLB release for 2016, but never say never to Topps throwing something else out there unannounced.

Anyway, Robin has 9 cards in the set to chase, all fairly rare, as you'd expect from National Treasures.

I'll archive images of any cards I find on this post.  Of course actual card numbering is probably different from what was released.

2016 Topps Trancendent

Topps Transcendent is being released tomorrow.  If you haven't heard it's the new high mark for a baseball card product with prices per box around $25,000!

It's crazy, you get 52 autographs, that's broken down into 3 1/1's, with one being a Kris Bryant, and a mix of base autos numbered to 52, and parallel autos.  And according to Topps you get at least one auto from each of the 42 signers in the set, so there will be signers that you get a base auto and a parallel.  You also get a base set of cards the set is called MLB Icons, all numbered to 65 and if I read it right they all have the same serial number.  You also get a cut auto box topper, an original sketch card and a reproduction set of all the sketch card subjects.  Is it worth $25,000?  Meh.

I bring it up here because while Robin is not a featured signer or in the base set, he is featured in the sketch cards.  So that means he'll have an original sketch card and a reproduction numbered to 65!

2016 Topps Dynasty Gallery and Checklist


So Topps hasn't and looks like doesn't plan to release a real checklist for this set anytime soon.  That being said Robin is in the main set so that means he has at least 4 cards in the set.  Likely more and then also 2 parallels of those cards.  I found this card was pulled in a case break not too long ago on the tubes.  I'll post more images as I find them and a checklist with card numbering when that becomes available or known.

2016 Topps Dynasty

Topps recently released the list of subjects in this year's Topps Dynasty project.  Like years past you get one card per box, per $300 box.  Yikes.  Robin's been listed as a signer.  Looks like base auto relic are numbered to 10 with a parallel numbered to 5 and 1.  It hasn't been made clear whether or not each subject will have multiple cards in the set like in years past or only one card and the parallels.  I'll keep you updated when I learn more I'm harasses Topps on Twitter about it as we speak.

Update:  So I got a little back and forth going with Topps on Twitter.  Here's what they had to say to my questions.

Similar to year's past means the player will have multiple cards numbered to 10 and parallels of those cards.  How many? Who knows until the product is released and then good luck I guess.

2016 Panini Pantheon Baseball Yount Checklist and Gallery

Panini seems to be cranking out it's upper end stuff lately.  Pantheon also looks incredibly similar to Prime Cuts and Immaculate.  And like every high end Panini product I've seen in the past few years the numbering in the official checklist will be wrong.  Most of the inserts will be labeled with lettering not numbers.  So with this checklist as cards start to show up and I can confirm the correct card labeling I'll change it here and on the running checklist page.  According to the checklist Robin has 26 cards in 7 different insert sets to chase and most parallels are pretty rare.

2016 Panini Prime Cuts Robin Yount Checklist and Gallery

Prime Cuts comes out next week.  The base checklist is confusing and to be honest there's not much in it for a Brewers collector.  But Robin does have a few relic cards to chase in the set, no base cards or autos.

2016 Topps Update Yount Checklist and Gallery

While the Milwaukee Brewers only have 6 base cards in the set and most of the inserts feature Ryan Braun, Robin does have 5 cards to chase.  From the fairly easy to get 3000 Hits Club base inserts and the unnumbered Medallion parallel card, to much more limited Medallion parallels and the autographed version.  These have been added too Robin's running 2016 checklist bring up the total to 158, not counting all the 5x7 card sets, I'll try to track those all down later to add.

Here is the checklist and image gallery

2016 Topps Five Star Checklist and Gallery

After finally getting a look at this year's Topps Five Star baseball checklist I discovered that Robin is the only Brewer featured in the set.  Oh sure there are other former Brewers in with autographs, but they are featured with other teams.

Robin is featured in only one set Golden Graphs, but that set has a few parallels.  Here's what you can find.
