2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes Light Blue Jersey Card

Year: 2008
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: Baseball Heroes
Card Number: 99
Card Type: Parallel Relic
Parallel Set: Light Blue Jersey
Relic Type: Uniform
Card Attributes: Relic, Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 127/200


Been awhile since I posted an actual Yount card.  I've been so busy keeping up with all the new cards coming out.  Let's go back to the well that is the 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes set. Unlike the 2005 version that was HOF centric and that Robin had 5 cards in, in this set Robin has only one card.  Well that and a thousand parallels.  Just kidding of course, but there are a lot.  There are 10 base card color parallels alone, and then the relics, autos and relic autos that parallel the base set.  And while Robin isn't in very possible parallel, he is in a lot of them.  

I'll be honest this set just screams 2008.  Well at least the way the just parallel the base set, by punching a hole for the relic and then applying sticker autos to the card.  That being said it's an overall nice card, the background works well with the very much on display classic Brewers uni.  And we get a nice posed Robin Yount in his later years.  And of course the plain gray swatch is totally 2000s.

On the Radar - Exclusive Project70 Mikael B and Robin Yount signed cards






 This just popped up on my Facebook feed.  I'm not sure what Topps will and won't allow with it's artists working on Project70, but it looks like some side collaborations are popping up all over.  And I'm not complaining.  So far the Brewers have had 2 cards featuring players and Robin has been one of them.  

Mikael B is selling some limited edition dual signed cards and balls exclusively on his website here.

If you've got deep pockets and some cash to burn these might be right up your alley.  I'm going to hold off on adding these to my 2021 checklist, as I'm not sure what all is being offered.  There are images with dual signed cards, but the listing only promotes signed Mikael B cards, other than the 1 of 1.  


But a neat collaboration.

2005 Upper Deck Classics Star Retro Rookies

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Upper Deck
Set: Upper Deck Classics
Card Number: 124
Card Type: Base, Sub-set
Sub-set: Star Retro Rookies


I wonder if Panini has a solid TM on the term Classics now.  Seems like back in the late 90s and early 2000s everyone had a Classics set.  2005 also happens to be the year that there were over 1000 different Yount cards produced, this is just one.  Upper Deck put out a couple HOF and retro sets this year.  Robin has multiple cards to chase in the set from 3 base paralles to insert, relics and a couple autographs.

The photo used screams retro for sure.  Baby blue uni, check.  Flip up sunglasses, check.  Long wavy hair, check.  Pretty basic back with a small factoid, full career stats on one line and basic player info.

On the Radar - 2021 Topps Finest - Yount Checklist

 I was surprised to see Robin in the checklist for this year's Finest offering.  Not so surprised when looking at the insert theme, Finest Legacies.  And he's paired with, not surprisingly, Christian Yelich.  One note and I'll make sure to correct this if need be that the Finest Legacies has a autographed version, but only Yelich is noted on the checklist for that set, so if it turns out that Robin is also featured on those cards I'll amend this checklist.
