This set of four collectible phone cards commemorates Robin Yount's Retirement Weekend and Tribute Day, honoring the legendary Milwaukee Brewers baseball player. Each card features a unique photograph capturing Yount in action, highlighting different milestones and memorable moments from his illustrious career, along with the corresponding dates and event details. Printed by Ameritech in 1994, these cards were part of a special release held around May 27-29, 1994, celebrating a significant chapter in Wisconsin sports history. The cards are designated as 0 specimen phone cards, with denominations of 50 cents, $2, $5, and $10, all branded with the "coin$aver" logo.

The $10 card showcases Robin Yount at bat during a game, capturing a dynamic moment that emphasizes his athletic stance and focus. It commemorates his achievement of 3,000 hits in 1992, a milestone highly regarded in Major League Baseball. The bold text at the bottom reads “coin$aver $10” and features the Ameritech logo, highlighting the card’s dual purpose as both memorabilia and a telephone card. A blurred crowd in the background adds atmosphere and excitement, reminiscent of a lively baseball game.

On the $2 card, Yount is depicted fielding a ball on the diamond, demonstrating his defensive skills alongside his batting talent. This card honors his selection as an American League All-Star in 1980, emphasizing his early career accomplishments with the Brewers. His classic pinstriped uniform and focused expression reflect the athleticism and dedication he brought to the game. The inscription on this card reiterates the Retirement Weekend dates and pays tribute to one of Yount’s many notable honors.

The $5 card features Yount mid-stride, running the bases in his Brewers uniform. It celebrates his 1989 American League Most Valuable Player award, one of the highest achievements in his career. The background, filled with blurred spectators, conveys the vibrant energy of game day, capturing the excitement Yount consistently brought to the sport. His determined gaze and poised running form exemplify the power and finesse that defined his playing style.

The final card, valued at 50 cents, depicts Robin Yount diving to field a ball during a game, wearing a Milwaukee Brewers uniform from an earlier era—likely the 1980s or earlier. This card commemorates “Robin Yount Tribute Day” on May 29, 1994, marking the retirement of his jersey number 19. The action shot highlights Yount’s agility and dedication, with the close-up perspective creating an intimate and intense feeling. Together, these four cards form a cohesive tribute set, celebrating the enduring legacy of one of baseball’s greats and honoring a milestone weekend in Wisconsin sports history.
