2019 Topps Transcendent Collection Robin Yount Checklist

Robin is again featured in the most expensive baseball card product in the world.  And like the first time he's featured in the original sketch set and reproductions, but also has a couple autos, literally two, both numbered 1 of 1.

2003 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Classic Patch

Year: 2003
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: Sweet Spot Classic
Card Number: P-RY3
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Souvenir Logo Patch
Card Attributes: Manufactured Patch, Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 333/350
Note: Hand Numbered

Lest we forget the Manurelic has been around for awhile now.  Case in point is this 2003 Sweet Spot Classic Souvenir Logo Patch.  This is one of three cards Robin has in the set.  One is another unnumbered Manurelic featuring the glove/ball logo and one game-used patch card numbered to 150.  I like this card, I like the commemorative World Series Patch and I like the photo used.  I even like hand numbering on the card.

Robin is featured in this year's Topps Dynasty Autograph patch set again.  Topps couldn't be bothered to actually release a checklist with actual card designations on it so I peicing this together from ebay listings. Here's what I've found:

2003 Fleer Showcase

Year: 2003
Card Manufacturer: Fleer
Card Set: Showcase
Card Number: 98
Card Type: Base

With Robin retiring in 1993, he unfortunately (or was it fortunate?) missed the rise of the insert and parallel craze of the late 90's and early 2000's, at least as an active player.  Once the HOF and tribute sets started coming out Robin got thrust right into the mix.  I may be one of the few that really enjoys a lot of the parallel sets.  For me as a player collector I know I'll never own the majority of the high end cards produced for Robin, but with all the inserts and parallels, and parallels of the inserts, I'll always have stuff to try and chase and to me that's a lot of the fun of collecting.  

The 2003 Fleer Showcase set is one of those great early mid 2000s sets that has a great checklist featuring stars of the day and HOFers and retired players.  Plus this set has some really cool insert and relic sets.  I'm a sucker for gimmicks.  This set does have a couple base parallels, one very attainable and the other not so much.  I really like the overall simple design and I like the photo used for Robin's card.
