Nothing to really get excited about, at least now. Back in 2002 this was the bee's knees. A nice shiny thick stock card with an actually game used relic. Not an event used, game used for what that's worth. Single color swatch and unnumbered the early 2000's marked a time with Robin's, and other players, jerseys were being cut up by the truck load for cards like this. Still a nice card from the Cadillac of sets at the time. I do like of the M shaped opening for the relic window. Beats a plain square or circle. Seems card makers are now just getting back to openings for their relic sets, you know besides Triple Threads.
That is a sharp looking card. For whatever reason, the early Tribute sets are my favorite high end product. I think it's because it just looks classier than those that followed.
