Robin Yount was one of the most accomplished and respected players in Major League Baseball during his 20-year career, spending his entire career with the Milwaukee Brewers from 1974 to 1993. As a Shortstop and Center Fielder, Yount was an 18-time All-Star, earned American League MVP honors in 1982 and 1989, won two Gold Glove Awards, and helped lead the Brewers to their lone World Series title in 1982. Given his sustained excellence and loyalty to one franchise, Robin Yount collected cards from the 1970s through the early 1990s that are highly sought after by collectors today. Some of his most valuable baseball cards include:

1974 Topps Robin Yount Rookie Card (#221): Yount’s rookie card is one of the true holy grails for any baseball card collector. Featuring a clean image of the young Shortstop in his Brewers uniform, this is considered the very first mass-produced card issued of Yount after making his MLB debut in 1974 at just 18 years old. In pristine gem mint condition, graded MINT 10 by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), a 1974 Topps Robin Yount rookie card recently sold at auction for over $900,000, setting a new record price for any card from the 1973-1976 Topps set. Even well-worn PSA graded 1.5 copies in just “poor” condition have sold for thousands, showing the iconic status and lasting demand for Yount’s rookie introduction to the hobby.

1982 Topps Traded Robin Yount All-Star (#61T): As a key member of the 1982 World Series champion Brewers, Yount’s performance that season helped launch the football-styled “Traded” subset in Topps’ flagship 1982 set. This scarce trader card highlights Yount’s 1982 All-Star selection with a sharp action photo. In top PSA 10 condition, examples have sold for over $10,000, with most graded copies in the $2,000-$4,000 range. The rarity, Yount’s MVP season, and iconic Traded design make this one of his most sought card variants from the early 1980s peak of his career.

1986 Topps Robin Yount (#677): Yount’s main roster card from one of his best statistical seasons and the height of the junk wax era. While possessing no true rarity, collectors love high-grade copies for their sharp centered image and the prospect of owning a flawless, affordable card from one of the game’s greats. PSA/BGS Gem Mint 10 examples in pristine condition have sold in the $300-$500 range, with most well-centered copies valued between $50-$150 based on condition.

1989 Upper Deck #1 Robin Yount: As one of the pioneering “third-party” producers alongside Donruss and Fleer, Upper Deck debuted spectacular graphics and photography in 1989 that shook the hobby. Yount’s flagship card that year features a classic headshot amid swirling graphics in Upper Deck’s innovative foil wrapper. Any PSA/BGS 10 GEM copies are highly prized, with auction prices reaching $700-900 depending on market conditions. Even well-preserved 9’s can sell for $300 or more given Yount’s repeat MVP performance in ’89 and the legendary quality of Upper Deck’s initial checklist.

1991 Leaf Series 2 Autographs Robin Yount Signed Auto (#5): One of Yount’s early mainstream on-card autographed cards produced before autographed memorabilia became ultra-common in the 1990s “insert craze”. Signed with sharpie directly onto the front of this colorful Leaf parallel card, top graded PSA/Beckett Authentic 9+ examples have reached $2,000+ due to the rarity of Yount autographs from early in his post-playing career memorabilia signings. A true key card in any Robin Yount autograph collection.

1992 Topps Gold Robin Yount (#77): Issued as one of Topps’ premium “Gold Shield” parallel cards in the flagship 1992 set, this gorgeous embossed refractor-style card stands out for its excellent on-card photography and foil coating. High-grade PSA 10 copies are rarely available, commanding prices of $800-1,000 given the challenge of locating pristine quality from any 1970s/80s “stars” set in recent years. Even well-centered PSA 9’s can sell in the $300 range.

1993 Score #708 Robin Yount: Score’s flashy late-career insert set that year included parallel blue tint cards, making Yount’s standard blue parallel issue particularly coveted. With his playing days winding down after 20 seasons, this eye-popping card serves as a reminder of his longevity and excellence at the plate into his late 30s. Pristine PSA 10 specimens have sold for over $500 in current market conditions.

There are certainly other Robin Yount cards that hold value, from various rookie cup parallels to certified autograph selections. Some of the specific issues outlined above frequently appear amongst the most expensive Yount transactions due to their rarity, exciting visuals, and importance in marking different stages of his Hall of Fame career. As one of baseball’s most dedicated stars of the 1970s and 80s, Yount’s cards remain a vital part of the hobby for any collector seeking pieces of his outstanding time with the Milwaukee Brewers franchise.
