2003 Donruss Team Heroes

Year: 2003

Manufacturer: Donruss

Set: Team Heroes

Card Number: 286

Card Type: Base

I currently have 342 cards scanned and in draft posts just waiting for me to find something to say about them and post them.  This card had the honor of being the last card in that pile. I originally scanned this card over 3 years ago so it's been waiting a while.  Who knows this might have been a card included in a big COMC Black Friday buying binge back then.  This card has multiple parallels, most of them pretty rare. This set also has some super rare convention parallels give out at the Atlantic City National Convention and Hawaii Convention.

2005 Donruss Team Heroes

Year: 2005

Manufacturer: Donruss

Set: Team Heroes

Card Number: 176

Card Type: Base

Donruss produced the Team Heroes brand for 3 years, 2003-2005.  The 2005 set while the last set produced embraced the parallel format that Donruss inserted into most of it's sets in 2005.  If I counted correctly there are 7 parallel sets to the base set.  The theme is pretty simple and the overall design isn't anything to write home to mom about and the backs are pretty boring.  I don't remember even seeing this product on the shelves, but doing a quick internet search boxes had 24 packs and a guaranteed auto.  The big selling point was the Showdown Gold parallel cards numbered to 10.  The set was fairly large by Donruss standards at 440 cards.  

2004 Donruss Team Heroes

Card Manufacturer: Donruss

Card Set: Team Heroes

Year: 2004

Card Number: 232

Card Type: Base

Donruss would put out this brand for three years starting in 2003 and Robin has a card in all three sets.  Here we have Robin's base card from the 2004 set.  There are also 3 parallel cards for this set, Gold, Silver, and Bronze and Robin also has an autograph card.

The overall design seems kind of clunky and blocky for me. They use the Brewers' new logo and team colors  for the card and the info is sparse on Yount facts with more of an emphasis on team info.

At least we get an image that hasn't been recycled a thousand times.
