Barry Larkin Collection 922: 2019 Topps Update - #EST-12 - Est. 1869

Barry Larkin

Year:  2019

Brand:  Topps Update

Insert set:  Est. 1869

Card number:  EST-12

The Est. 1869 set is a 13-card insert set that celebrates the Cincinnati Reds.  Somehow, this set completely passed me by back when it was released and I'm only now discovering it when I looked into what exactly this particular Barry Larkin card was!  The full checklist for the set features the usual suspects for a Reds' themed set (plus Nick Senzel who definitely does not belong in this set but he was a rookie back 2019 so of course Topps had to throw him in).

• EST-1 Cincinnati Red Stockings
• EST-2 Joey Votto
• EST-3 Nick Senzel
• EST-4 George Foster
• EST-5 Frank Robinson
• EST-6 Joe Morgan
• EST-7 Johnny Bench
• EST-8 Tony Perez
• EST-9 Tom Seaver
• EST-10 Eric Davis
• EST-11 Tom Browning
• EST-12 Barry Larkin
• EST-13 Ken Griffey, Jr.

Also, in prime Topps fashion, not only are there 13 cards to collect in the set but then there are six full parallel sets to also try and track down:

• Blue
• Black (serial-numbered to 299 copies)
• 150th Anniversary (serial-numbered to 150 copies)
• Gold (serial-numbered to 50 copies)
• Red (serial-numbered to ten)
• Platinum (one-of-one)

Yeah, that's nuts.  

Luckily for my own sanity, I decided a long time ago that I'm only going to chase after Barry Larkin cards with print runs of at least 25 copies.  Thus, I only have four parallels that I feel somewhat compelled to track down (Blue, Black, 150th Anniversary, and Gold).
