In 2003 there were almost 100 different baseball card releases. And that's a lot of sets, but what made this year and the next couple so crazy was the explosion of parallels within the sets, inserts, relic, autograph, and relic autograph cards. Robin has 16 different cards in this set with all the parallels. He also happens to two cards in the HOF Materials insert set. He's also featured on card #HOF-18 with a bat relic. But what is really great about this set and especially this card is the jersey that this swatch is taken from is featured and fully recognized as the source on the back of the card. Something that is sorely missing in today's, not from any specific event, date, or game, relic cards. The card features a very young, maybe still in his teens, Yount in batting pose, although very little of him. Still this is from a time where relics were still a pretty sought after hit in products and with both his relics in this set being numbered to only 100 fairly rare.
