On the Radar - 2020 Panini Elite Extra Edition

Just when I was about to shut the book on 2020 Yount cards Panini comes in with a late entry and a few more.  Robin is featured in the All-Time First Rounders Materials insert with parallels.

2003 Donruss Elite All-Time Career Best

Year: 2003

Manufacturer: Donruss

Set: Elite Baseball

Card Number: AT-20

Card Type: Insert

Insert Set: All-Time Career Best

I was a little surprised when I was picking up cards on Black Friday that I didn't already have an example of this card in my collection, but thanks the deals on COMC I picked one up very cheap.

The card celebrates Robin's Career Best 49 Doubles in 1980, a Brewers record until Lyle Overbay beat it in 2004 with 53, but Robin still holds the Brewers all-time doubles record with 583.

2004 Donruss Elite Extra Edition Draft Class

Year: 2004

Card Number: DC-5

Card Type: Insert

Insert Set: Draft Class

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

A cool, shiny insert from the 2004 Donruss Elite Extra Edition set.  Robin shares his draft class and this card with Fred Lynn.  Both players also made their big league debuts in 1974.  

The card itself isn't anything that special and even though all the cards in this set are numbered to 500 it was designed for it's autographed version.  Robin and Fred's autographed version is numbered to only 10 and I can say that I've ever actually seen one.

  Other notable Brewers in the set include Paul Molitor and Gary Sheffield.

2004 Donruss Elite Turn of the Century Parallel

Card Manufacturer: Donruss

Card Set: Elite

Year: 2004

Card Number: 196

Card Type: Base Parallel

Parallel Set: Turn of the Century

Card Attributes: Serial Numbered

Serial Number: 082/250

Who doesn't love shiny cards? Well who doesn't love shiny cards back when shiny cards were the exception not the norm?  Ah good old Donruss Elite. Panini still puts out the Elite brand, but it's not quite the same without all the logos and team names, but still really, really shiny. And Elite now is more of Panini's shiny version of Bowman focusing mostly on rookies.

Robin had a card in the 2004 set. He had a high number which were reserved for retired players.

This is the Turn of the Century parallel and you can tell, one because it's numbered to 250 and two it says so right on the front of the card.

There are other versions of this card as well.  The base card is numbered to only  1000 and the status parallels that are numbered super low.
