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.

No base card in this year's set, but Robin has plenty of autos and relics to chase.

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.  

2022 Topps Triple Threads Sapphire

Year: 2022

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Triple Threads

Card Number: 51

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel Set: Sapphire

Serial Number: 20/25

One of the cooler and rarer cards I picked up last year is this Sapphire parallel from 2022 Triple Threads.  While you'd be hard pressed to tell one year's base cards from the other it's still a nice looking card on thicker stock, but it's a well used image.

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.   

2012 Topps Triple Threads Flashback Relics

Year: 2012

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Triple Threads

Card Number: TTFR-21

Card Type: Insert Relic

Insert Set: Flashback Relics

Card Attributes: Relic, Serial Number

Relic Type: Bat

Serial Number: 09/36

COMC Black Friady Haul #17

I picked up a couple nice relics of Robins this past year.  This card was by far the lowest numbered relic of the bunch.  Again this card was purchased months before the Black Friday event, but was included in my yearly shipement afterwards.  I can remember when these came out back in 2012 and thought they were really cool.  I love the double sided relic, although I'm fairly certain it's the same hunk of wood seen from both sides.  The card highlights Robin's nicknames at the start and end of his career.  Nicknamed the Kid when he broke into the majors, a nickname that has been shared by many players before and since.  And of course Rockin' Robin.  Both sides feature images that were very overused that year and have been since.

I'm not ashamed to say I paid just over $6 for the card.  To me that's  a great price for this very low numbered card of my favorite HOF player and to think this was a hit out of a $100 plus box of cards.  Seems I made out OK on the deal.

2008 Topps Triple Threads Emerald Parallel

Year: 2008

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Triple Threads

Card Number: 138

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel Set: Emerald

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 235/240

2008 was the third year of Topps' mid-high end product.  This wasn't Topps' most premium brand at the time, that was Sterling, but Triple Threads was a close second. It's a set that's composition really hasn't changed much since it was first introduced in 2006.  The base cards in the 2008 set have this bumpy texture to them which is kind of odd, but I love that the serial numbering is huge.  I also like the vintage image used for the card and we can date the image to sometime pre-1978 from the uniform and batting helmet.

Additionally while the backs are pretty much a right-off, the card number is large and the back is colored to match the parallel and isn't just a back used across all the parallels like alot of Topps' sets today.

2008 Topps Triple Threads Relics Sepia Parallel

Year: 2008

Manufacturer: Topps

Set: Triple Threads

Card Number: TTR-218

Card Type: Insert Multi-relic Parallel

Insert Set: Triple Threads Relics

Parallel Set: Sepia

Card Attributes: Relics, Serial Numbered

Relic Type: Bat, Jersey

Serial Number: 11/27

Sorry about the scan, I should have taken the card out of the top loader and penny sleeve, but I'm not going to dig it back out so it is what it is. 

I've never been a huge fan of Triple Threads.  Maybe its because the cards look the same year after year, or that the relic gimmicks just aren't my taste, but I'm not going to let that stop me from adding any of Robin's cards from the set to my collection.  This card celebrates Robin's 251 career home runs.  Not a monster number compared to the some of the power hits, but still very respectable.  And while the lettering may make this card look like a 6 relic card it vary obviously is only 3 separate relic pieces.  Like all things Topps there are a ton of parallels in the set, but even what is considered the base relic card is limited to only 36 copies and this sepia parallel is numbered to just 27.  The star of the card are the relic pieces with Robin's head taking up a very small portion of the card.

2015 Topps Triple Threads Yount Checklist

Robin is only featured in one insert set in this years Triple Threads but that also comes with a 5 parallels.  Still the base card is numbered only to 36 so these will be pricey relic cards.  Robin is in the Relic Legends set.  I'll add images after these start hitting the market next week.

2014 Topps Triple Threads Base card

Card Manufacturer: Topps

Card Set: Triple Threads

Year: 2014

Card Number: 21

Card Type: Base

If there's one thing I can count on as a Yount collector it's that Topps Triple Threads will feature Robin.  I'd have to go do the research, but I'm pretty sure he's been featured almost every year since the brand came out.  In the early years of the product the base cards were numbered just like all the other parallels to around 1350 copies.  I'm not sure if that print run still holds true now that Topps doesn't number the base cards.  

The other thing you can count on is that the relic and autos will look almost identical from year to year, but at least the base cards change.  The 2014 design is similar to past designs and keeps the formula up.  Like years past the set features the player more than the game.  Cropping out the player to be prominently displayed in a frame.  Robin's card isn't very colorful, with the only real popping color coming from the mustard yellow nameplate and the blue from his uniform.  I do like the foil framing goes behind Robin making it look like he's coming out of the card.  Over all a pretty typical Triple Threads card and that's not a bad thing, a well designed card with foil accents and the player featured prominently.  The back has the usual three (triple) facts, I'll have to make a note to find Robin's other Triple Thread cards and compare backs just to see how much of the info is recycled.

2007 Topps Triple Threads base card

Card Manufacturer: Topps

Card Set: Triple Threads

Year: 2007

Card Number: 124

Card Type: Base

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 0939/1350

Triple Threads is one of those issues that it's the base that changes and the relics and hits seem to stay the same.  Robin has base cards in the first 3 sets issued from 2006- 2008 and then didn't get another base card until 2013.  Early in the brands days the base cards were numbered, but Topps stopped that a few years back.  Robin has card #124 in the set and gets all the associated parallels.

Not a bad looking card and it's an image that Topps didn't use too much. I like the feel of these card. It looks like it would take an autograph well and the red base cards make a pretty bold statement.    

2013 Topps Triple Threads Amethyst parallel - The first of many, many posts from my COMC Black Friday Hauliday!

Card Type: Base Color Parallel

Parallel Set: Amethyst

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

I ended up picking up a ton of new Younts for the supercollection this Black Friday from COMC. I think I added over 35. 

First up is my first base card of any kind from this years Triple Threads.  I really love the purple cards that Topps has been putting out this year. From Chrome to Triple Threads they all look good.  This is actually the Amethyst parallel and they are the high numbered parallel this year.  This is the second year that Topps decided to stop serial numbering the common base card.  I didn't notice last year because Robin didn't have a base card in that set.

I also like that the color variation continues onto the back of the card.

I've already managed to acquire one of this years Unity relics and that'll probably be enough for me.

Stay tuned for the rest of the haul.  cb out
