I featured Robin's red bordered parallel of this card a few weeks ago.  I always find it interesting when I realize that I missed picking up a base card for year's.  To be fair I've had Robin's other card in this set for years, card #HH-61 with the color image.  I'm not sure why Donruss went and featured a bunch of players in the same set with this sepia or black and white version as well.  Most likely to add bulk to the set.  More cards you make the more you can sell.  And like his HH-61 there are plenty of parallels to chase.  Some as simple as the framed borders to auto-relics.

Well today's the day that Panini resurrects the Diamond King product and what better way to celebrate here on the Yount Collector, since Panini hasn't released a checklist yet so I can't find any Younts in the new set, to post a Yount from the 2005 set.

The 2005 Donruss Diamond Kings set offers tons of parallels and inserts to chase.  Here we have the Blue Framed HOF Heroes insert parallel.  Nice blue foil on the card and of course it low numbered.

I'll be posting a Yount checklist on the new Diamond Kings when it's released and if Robin is in the set.
