2005 Upper Deck Portraits

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: UD Portraits, or just Portraits
Card Number: 51
Card Type: Base

Just a base card today.  The configuration of the UD Portraits set is pretty simple.  You have the base set, jersey and jersey autograph parallels, one insert set which has a relic parallel and then autographed box toppers.  Robin is featured in the base set along with Ben Sheets and Prince Fielder as the only other Brewers in the base set, Prince Fielder also has a card in the Scrapbook Moments inserts set.  Robin also has two relic parallels based off of the base card.  The relic window is where the team logo is on the base card.  Ben Sheets has an autograph in the 8x10 box toppers and also relic and auto relic cards in the parallels to the base set.  Like many of the mid-2000s sets the base set is more of an after thought to the relic and autograph parallels of the card.  The card is simple, but it's a great photo of Robin getting ready to bat.
