2021 Topps Triple Threads Tourmaline

Year: 2021

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Triple Threads

Card Number: 35

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel: Tourmaline

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 044/125

Looking up tourmaline, I find that it comes in a whole rainbow of colors, much like other gemstones it depends on the trace elements trapped in the crystal matrix. Topps has chosen the pink/purply color to represent the tourmaline parallel.  Like previous and subsequent years Triple Threads a base set on very thick stock and in a assortment of colors.  As a player collector I do enjoy that I have new cards to hunt and acquire for the Yount collect and I'm not just limited to cards during his playing days.  

 

2021 Topps Triple Threads Onyx

Year: 2021
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Triple Threads
Card Number: 35
Card Type: Parallel
Parallel: Onyx
Serial number: 07/50

Wow it's been awhile since I featured a card post.  Of course keeping up with all the new Younts is fun and good, but so is cardboard appreciation.  I requested shipment of my COMC portfolio after the Black Friday sale and a quick 3 months later I finally had my stack.  I really should have done a better job of keeping track of how many Younts came in that shipment.  Let's just say there were a lot of new additions.  

Since my last delivery I picked most of the 2021 Triple Threads Rainbow.    You would likely be hard pressed to be able to identify Triple Threads to the year from its design, they all seem to be very similar, much like Panini Prizm, from year to year.  But it's a very pretty card in the hand.  The holographic foil pairs very nicely with the black background.  

2021 Panini Prizm - Red, White, and Blue Prizm

Year: 2021

Maufacturer: Panini

Set: Prizm

Card Number: 156

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel Set: Red, White, and Blue

It's been awhile since I've just posted a card.  Let's dip back in to some of the new cards I finally had delivered with my last COMC shipment.  2021 Prizm has a ton of parallels.  44 to be exact.  8 more than the year before.  It's kind of insane, but as a player collector I love the idea that I'll likely always have cards to hunt for.  I do love the look of these Red, White, and Blue parallels.  They really pop in hand and there's no doubt it's a parallel.  It was a little disappointing the Panini decided to use the exact image (although cropped differently) that they used for Robin's 2019 Prizm cards.

 

On the Radar - 2021 yes 2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary

 And the award for the lastest released previous year's set goes toooooooo....

But I digress.  The non-chrome version of this set was given away at last year's big Topps 70th Anniversary party that was held for those silver ticket winners.  I'm not sure if the checklist are the same or not, but Robin has a base card in this very late to the party set and an autograph, and of course all those parallels, all those parallels.  I'll add images as stuff starts popping up.

On the Radar - 2022 Topps Living Fine Art prints

 If you remember back in November of 2021 Robin finally got his Topps Living card.  I was super excited that he was finally featured in the set.  But I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of the image.  But that didn't stop me from picking the fine are print numbered to 100 for my collection and as of writing this there still available.  There was also an artist signed 1 of 1 that is sold out.

On the radar - 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Edition

 I had seen cards from this set pop up after Topps' VIP party.  The party held for those who pulled silver or was it gold?, tickets from 2021 products.  A couple people tweeted that boxes of 2021 Topps Platinum Anniversary Edition were given out to attendees.  Topps has had a chrome version of these product on it's products release calendar since early last year and like Big League has been pushed back again and again.  

The set features players on the 1952 Topps design and I was curious if Robin had made the set, but up until a few days ago I hadn't seen a card pop up.  But now I guess we can say that yes he does have a card in the set.  So one more to add to the 2021 set.  I think it's safe to assume if the Chrome version of this ever actually gets released the Robin will be in that set as well.  I have yet to see a checklist for this product so I'm not sure if it included parallels or not.  I will update this post if I can confirm any parallels.

On the Radar - 2021 Leaf Art of Sport Yount checklist

 Of course we have to have stragglers when it comes to the 2021 Yount checklist and coming in maybe, but likely not, last is this offering from Leaf.  Leaf has kind of become known for these eclectic multi-sport offerings and Robin is in a couple of the sets.  I'll neaten up serial numbering when and if I can.  I'll add images as stuff starts popping up.

The Year in Yount - 2021 Edition

 We still have a few 2021 baseball products yet to be released, but the likely hood of Robin showing up in those products is slim (not impossible, but slim), so I think it's safe to post a year end review.  If Robin does happen to have a few more cards show up, I'll of course add them and post about them.

I'll be totally honest when this year started I did not think it would end with 2021 become the year with the second most Robin Yount cards ever produced.  As I write this my count is at 739 and I know there are a few oddball products I haven't included in that list and I didn't include any of the Archive Signature Series cards either, (since Topps doesn't release detailed information on those sets and I'm having trouble finding solid information on products like Jersey Fusion).  Ahem.  

Even with the huge amount of new Younts to find I really didn't add to many to my collection.  I've really given up on eBay both as a buyer and seller.  Shipping has just become too expensive to pick up base and abundant parallels.  My go to for Yount picks over the last few year's has really become COMC, but with their recent growing pains and prices on the site being a little too high.  Lucky for me I've become very patient. And it's nice to see a lot of new cards being added almost daily. I think 2022 will be a very good year for picking up new Yount cards.  That's not to say I still haven't picked up a Yount here and there on the site. And surprisingly I've gotten a bunch of new Younts via trades.

While I haven't added a lot of new cards to my personal collection, I have really enjoyed blogging about and keeping track of the new cards as they are released.  I've also enjoyed connecting with fellow Brewers and Yount collector's on social media.  I love the card community and instead of being jealous of awesome card pick ups most times fellow collectors are genuinely happy when you get a great card for your collection.  

2021 also saw me get to check off one of my white whales.

This 2004 Topps Bazooka Headliners relic card.  May seem silly but I've had this card on my radar for over 16 years and I was finally able to snag one for a really good price back in May.  Now to track down the foil serial numbered version.  

With Robin being featured in one of the first Topps Throwback Thursday sets and that he's also in the 1987 Topps Baseball insert in Series 1 - 2022 is also off to a great start for new Yount cards.  

On the Radar - 2021 Topps Chrome Update Yount Checklist

 I was working on my Year in Review post and low and behold Topps snuck another release out.  Topps Chrome Update is suppose to officially be today, tomorrow, who know's exactly when it will hit retail shelves, but Robin has a couple cards in the Platinum Players die-cut set and auto parallel.  No work on parallels for the cards, but it's Topps so I'm sure there will be some.  Here is the tentative checklist and I'll add parallels and serial numbering when that info becomes available.

On the Radar - Pop Fly Art Print

If you missed out on Pop Fly's first Robin Yount art print (like me) you're in luck as Pop Fly has released a second Yount print.   This one commemorating his second MVP season and like all of Daniel's art this one has lots of little Easter eggs in it.  As a big comic book geek I love the mix of comic books and sports to create these prints.  You still have (at the time of writing) about 4 days to pick one of these up.  Prints are $50, which is a pretty significant increase from previous season which were priced at $35.  But I'm not going to miss my window again as Robin's first print has a print run of only 164 and the few I've found for sale have been in the triple digits.  Autographed editions signed by Robin are also available for $110.  If you want to pick one of these up you can find them here at Pop Fly Pop Shop but better hurry.  I'll update this post with this offerings print run once the ordering window closes.  Also check out the archives to see all the cool print's Daniels done.  

Here is Pop Fly's first Yount print.

On the Radar - 2021 Topps Brooklyn Collection

 Topps is once again offering the Brooklyn Collection. Boxes are $149.99 on their website and that includes just one 7 card pack with 2 autos, 2 parallels, and 3 base cards.  Robin has an autograph in the offering, but it's not clear yet if the autos are numbered or if there are parallels. Once that info gets released I'll update this post and add images once cards start showing up.  I'll also update SNing once it's actually known

On the Radar - 2021 Topps Living ----- Finally!!

 Apologies for getting this out so late, but you do have a couple days if you want to order Robin's Topps Living card.  I've only been waiting over 3 years for this card to be released.  I did notice that Topps had two different front images listed one with a red name plate and one with black?  I hadn't noticed this on other Topps Living offerings and I don't know if it was intentional or not, but there's nothing on the site about variations.  And I may have gone a little overboard on the amount of cards I ordered (or not).  But when my 10 pack gets here I'll let you know.

2021 Topps Living #469 PR2336

Update: After receiving my cards, all ten had the red nameplate.

The Topps Online archived listing still shows both cards for Robin.  I've posted it here for posterity.
