Been awhile since I posted an actual Yount card.  I've been so busy keeping up with all the new cards coming out.  Let's go back to the well that is the 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes set. Unlike the 2005 version that was HOF centric and that Robin had 5 cards in, in this set Robin has only one card.  Well that and a thousand parallels.  Just kidding of course, but there are a lot.  There are 10 base card color parallels alone, and then the relics, autos and relic autos that parallel the base set.  And while Robin isn't in very possible parallel, he is in a lot of them.  

I'll be honest this set just screams 2008.  Well at least the way the just parallel the base set, by punching a hole for the relic and then applying sticker autos to the card.  That being said it's an overall nice card, the background works well with the very much on display classic Brewers uni.  And we get a nice posed Robin Yount in his later years.  And of course the plain gray swatch is totally 2000s.
