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.

2019 Topps Triple Threads Onyx

Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Triple Threads
Card Number: 30
Card Type: Base Parallel
Parallel Set: Onyx
Card Attribute: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 26/50

Whew am I glad my COMC Black Friday haul posts are done.  I ended up picking up this great 2019 Triple Threads Onyx parallel from my LCS, Bosco's.  I can't remember if I had stopped by for one of their semi-regular card shows or if it was their monthly Trade Night, but the trading card manager Moe had sent me a message on Twitter with a nice selection Brewers cards he had picked up and set aside for me.  In the batch was this card, plus the base.  I've said it many times before but it's super rare that I find new Younts locally.  But it does happen from time to time and I love it.  It seems to me that over the last couple year's almost across all of the Topps brands that Topps has made their parallels more and more subtle.  If this wasn't serial numbered to 50 on the front you might pass this off as a base card.

2014 Topps Triple Threads Onyx

Year: 2014
Card Manufacturer: Topps
Card Set: Triple Threads
Card Number: 21
Card Type: Base Parallel
Parallel Set: Onyx
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number:10/50


Another card picked up from COMC.  And again I was lucky enough to find a sweet deal on this guy.
I'm slowly acquiring most of the color parallels of Robin's from last years Triple Threads.   There was a time where I actively went after as many of the parallels as possible, but now I'm more of a sit and wait kind of collector.  And when a deal comes along I snag it.  So the Onyx parallel comes into the collection.  I was a little disappointed that Robin wasn't in this year's Triple Threads base set, but at least he does have a few relic cards.
