Back in 2020 Topps took what is arguably one of the best and most desirable aspects of Allen and Ginter, the rip cards, and just made a product of just rip cards.  And so Topps Rip was born.  They have so far put the set out every year.  Who knows if there will be one in 2024 as Fanatics does not do a lot of pre-release announcements.  So we'll have to wait and see if Rip returns for 2024.  

The concept is pretty simple every card in a box of Topps Rip is a rip card.  All the rip cards also have parallels and inside the rip cards in one mini card.  Those mini's also have parallels and autograph and auto parallels.   While Robin has yet to be featured on a rip card he has been featured on a mini card in 2020, 2021, and 2023, and as an autograph subject in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

That being said I just picked up my first Yount card from the offering.  This great 2023 Riptide Mini parallel, numbered to just 30 copies.  For those curious these mini's are the same size as the Allen and Ginter mini's and fit in the tobacco sized supplies.

On the Radar - 2022 Topps Rip

 Back for it's third year and Robin again is featured in the autograph checklists. Of course the only way to get an autograph is to rip the cards.  I'll add images when cards start popping up.

On the Radar - 2021 Topps Rip Yount Checklist

 Wow it's been non-stop On the Radar posts! And another new product is coming out with Robin in it again.  The second year of Topps Rip.  Basically taking one of the best things that comes out of Allen and Ginter and just making a whole product of rip cards.  Robin isn't in the base set, but is in the inserted mini set again this year.  I didn't think Robin was going to make 500 cards this year until Five Star or Triple Threads came out, but with this release Robin has topped over 500 cards release this year!!

Here's the checklist and I'll add images as they show up.

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.
