2016 Panini National Treasures Baseball Yount Checklist and Gallery

Panini finally released the official checklist for National Treasures and this is suppose to be the last MLB release for 2016, but never say never to Topps throwing something else out there unannounced.

Anyway, Robin has 9 cards in the set to chase, all fairly rare, as you'd expect from National Treasures.

I'll archive images of any cards I find on this post.  Of course actual card numbering is probably different from what was released.

2005 Playoff Prestige - Prestigious Pros Silver Material Bat Relic

Year: 2005

Manufacturer: Donruss/Playoff

Set: Playoff Prestige

Card Number: PP-19

Card Type: Insert Parallel

Insert Set: Prestigious Pros

Parallel Set: Silver Material Bat

Card Attributes: Relic, Serial Numbered

Relic Type: Bat

Serial Number: 03/50

I was hoping to be able to post checklist of National Treasures, but Panini still hasn't released the official checklist. So I'm not sure if Robin is even in it, but history tells us that he most likely is.

So lets highlight a really shiny relic card from the middle of the last decade.

The Prestigious Pros insert has a rainbow of parallels, as well as, a few relic sets and an autograph set.  Interestingly enough the base set for this product is pretty bland, but the Prestigious Pros are so shiny!  If my count is right there are 14 total parallels of this set.  That's a lot of cards to chase down.  Besides the bat relic set there is also a jersey relic and patch relic. 

2016 Topps Trancendent

Topps Transcendent is being released tomorrow.  If you haven't heard it's the new high mark for a baseball card product with prices per box around $25,000!

It's crazy, you get 52 autographs, that's broken down into 3 1/1's, with one being a Kris Bryant, and a mix of base autos numbered to 52, and parallel autos.  And according to Topps you get at least one auto from each of the 42 signers in the set, so there will be signers that you get a base auto and a parallel.  You also get a base set of cards the set is called MLB Icons, all numbered to 65 and if I read it right they all have the same serial number.  You also get a cut auto box topper, an original sketch card and a reproduction set of all the sketch card subjects.  Is it worth $25,000?  Meh.

I bring it up here because while Robin is not a featured signer or in the base set, he is featured in the sketch cards.  So that means he'll have an original sketch card and a reproduction numbered to 65!

2016 Topps Dynasty Gallery and Checklist

So Topps hasn't and looks like doesn't plan to release a real checklist for this set anytime soon.  That being said Robin is in the main set so that means he has at least 4 cards in the set.  Likely more and then also 2 parallels of those cards.  I found this card was pulled in a case break not too long ago on the tubes.  I'll post more images as I find them and a checklist with card numbering when that becomes available or known.

2005 Upper Deck Ultimate Signature Edition Base

Year: 2005

Manufacturer: Upper Deck

Set: Ultimate Signature Edition

Card Number: 36

Card Type: Base

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 140/825

It seems like more and more of the higher end products are just throwing out the idea of a base set in the product.  I realize that lots of people bitch about these cards being worthless filler, but I happen to disagree.  I absolutely love the base set from higher end products like Ultimate.  Mainly because it gives me something to chase that I can afford.  

Ultimate remains a product that other high end products are measured.  And while Ultimate products were expensive they weren't sell your soul expensive.  And they had these awesome serial numbered base cards to chase for us mere mortals.

2016 Topps Dynasty

Topps recently released the list of subjects in this year's Topps Dynasty project.  Like years past you get one card per box, per $300 box.  Yikes.  Robin's been listed as a signer.  Looks like base auto relic are numbered to 10 with a parallel numbered to 5 and 1.  It hasn't been made clear whether or not each subject will have multiple cards in the set like in years past or only one card and the parallels.  I'll keep you updated when I learn more I'm harasses Topps on Twitter about it as we speak.

Update:  So I got a little back and forth going with Topps on Twitter.  Here's what they had to say to my questions.

Similar to year's past means the player will have multiple cards numbered to 10 and parallels of those cards.  How many? Who knows until the product is released and then good luck I guess.

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.
