2005 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts Glory Days

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: SP Legendary Cuts
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Glory Days
Card Number: GD-RY
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 382/399

Have I lamented recently how much I miss Upper Deck in baseball?  Let's go back to a time when the shelves were literally packed with product, back to 2005. 
I've said it many times, 2005 has the distinction of being the year that Robin has the most cards produced with his likeness, more than 1000!!  And that has to do with sets like this. In this set alone Robin has close to 40 different cards to chase (that of course includes all the parallels).

And of course what was all the rage was having an insert set that had not only color parallels, but also autograph, relic and relic autograph parallels.  

The base card for the Glory Days insert is numbered to only 399.  Again as was the tradition the overall design of the card is made to accommodate the autograph and relic parallels.  The autographed sticker would be placed where the team name is and the relic would be put where team logo is.  

But the card does feature full career stats on the back and a nice little write up, something that is usually missing on similar card made today.
