Five from Robin

Time for another "Five From" installment!  Today, we look at the five favorite Robin Yount cards in my collection.

Now unlike the other players featured in this series so far, I don't have a lot of Yount in my keepers.  No real reason, I like him fine.  But evidently not as much as some other players.  So I thought I would share the Yount keepers that didn't make the cut, since they could all be shown in one scan:

The first 2 are serial numbered.  The vintage and fake vintage in the middle are cool too.  I think my favorite of these (so #6, I guess!) is the partially cut off Fall Classics card.  I just like the marble-y look it has, and Yount pops off it well.

On to the countdown!

#5 - 2005 Topps Pristine Legends - Valuable Performance Relics #VP-RY.  

I love the way this card shows Yount post swing, getting out of the batters box.  Not an unique angle, but a good one.  In hand, this card has a good, chromey look.

#4 - 1976 Topps - #316

Not a great photo, but with a second year card of a Hall of Famer, you can't go wrong.  And really, the 76 design is very nice, and this is well composed.

#3 - 1977 Topps - #635

What?  The third year card beats out the second year card???  Yep, and its all about the action baby!  Great bunt shot, and Robin is in full on intensity mode.  Very cool.

#2 - 1993 Donruss The Legend Series /10000

These were super tough pulls back in the day!  1993's Elite Series card went to Yount for reaching 3000 career hits. These have a silver holofoil, radiance pattern that was a little psychedelic for the time. These guys were serial-numbered to 10,000.  And the painting was done by none other than Mr. Diamond King himself, Dick Perez.

And...

#1 - 1975 Topps - #223

How could it not be?  Not only is the 75 set a classic, but its a Robin Freakin Yount RC!!  Yes, its off centered.  And has a couple of other defects.  But I love it and it totally deserves its place as #1.

What are some of your picks for Robin Yount cards I should acquire????
