2008 Upper Deck Premier

Year: 2008
Manufacture: Upper Deck
Set: Premier
Card Number: 196
Card Type: Base
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 80/99

Continuing my series of new Younts from my COMC Black Friday hall.  One of the things I love is on Black Friday is to sit in front of my computer with a nice hot cup of coffee and go hunting for cards I need and hopefully find some deals.  It also always surprises me when I find something I though I had, but didn't.  There were quite a few of those cards this year and this 2008 UD Premier base card is one of those cards.  Upper Deck had a couple premium baseball brands near the end of their run on baseball with sets like Ultimate, Sweet Spot, and Premier.  As a matter of fact this base card is rarer than the base cards in this year's Topps Transcendence.  And lets face it Upper Deck could do high end and low end.  The base cards for the Premier set were numbered to just 99.

The front features a great full bleed photo and a nice little design for the serial numbering.  On the back we only get one line of yearly stats, Robin's 1982 MVP season and total career stats. 

There are 3 parallel set for the base cards all very low numbered, Blue #/15, Silver #/5, and Gold #/1.
