Funny story... I posted the 2017 Series 1 Yount checklist and was just casually scrolling down my blog feed when I notice something and it made me do a double take. I'll be honest had I not just done a post about Robin's 2005 Upper Deck Past Time Pennants card this would have totally escaped me. I had to laugh. Not only does Topps recycle the same image over and over again within it's own products, yes I know they use licensed images, but now we get to see Topps use images that other card companies have used. I'm not mad it just makes me shake my head a little. I mean Robin played baseball for 20 years! I'm sure he had tens of thousands of potential images that could be used. That's probably why I was a big cheerleader for his Stadium Club card last year. It was unique to the set being the only card not to feature a player doing something basebally, and it was an image I hadn't seen used before.
Here's a nice side by side.
