Next up in my recent COMC delivery is this 2020 Topps - WARriors of the Diamond Black Parallel.  In recent year's Topp's designs do not lend themselves well to color parallels.  At least some of the color parallels, Franchise Feats also comes to mind from this set.  You'd be hard pressed to tell this was a color parallel without noticing the serial numbering on the back.  As for the insert, I like the play on words and maybe not so much the photo used.  In the simplest of terms WAR stands for Wins Above Replacement and measures the players value being on the field versus them not and how much the player contributes to a team win, or something like that.  It's one of those fancy shmacy sabermetrics that the math guys love.  And the card marks Robin's career high WAR of 10.5 that he had on the 1982 Brewers World Series team.
