Have I told you how much I've missed Upper Deck in the baseball card scene?  The very crowed card market of the early and mid 2000s saw lots of innovation and gimmicks to try and grab the attention of the average card collector.  Upper Deck's Reflections gimmick was that it was shiny or at least a lot of the inserts and parallels were shiny.  The product offers all the trappings we've come to expect out of a product, autographs, relics, relic autographs and of course base parallels.  Reflections offered 6 colored and shiny base parallels.  

Here is Robin's blue parallel.  Numbered to only 75 it's got great eye appeal pairing well with his Brewers uniform.  The backs of the base card are pretty basic with just a line of total career stats and a small blurb.

I miss Upper Deck from the baseball card market.  There were some great Upper Deck sets.  I don't think I would count this one as one of them, but if you like shiny cards, this set is for you.  The cards are very shiny and come in a rainbow of colors to chase, six to be exact and they come with varing rarities.  The base cards aren't the stars of the show for this set, no like many, many sets from the mid-2000s the base cards are an afterthought, almost a necessary evil that had to be included in a product release. something we are seeing less and less of these days with higher end products.  But Reflections was a hit driven product and there are lot of nice relics and autos to chase in this set.  Robin has quite a few as well.
