Nothing like a shiny foilboard card to get the day off right. I'm a big fan of Cooperstown tribute sets and cards. The scan really doesn't do the card justice on just how shiny it is.
These Cooperstown Tribute cards were inserted into the Fleer Tradition set. Tradition had become Fleers flagship set for the most part and the base set was suppose to be 750 cards, but Fleer's bankruptcy meant only Series 1 was release. It's very possible that the 10 card Tribute set would have been much larger, but at least we got Robin included before the Fleer brand got sold to Upper Deck. The cards are serial numbered to the year of induction, so Robin's is out of 1999. There is an unnumbered gold parallel which was the retail insert for this set and there are two relic parallels to chase.
