2002 Fleer Greats of the Game

Year: 2002

Manufacturer: Fleer

Set: Greats of the Game

Card Type: Base

Card Number: 66

The early 2000's marked a time where card companies were starting to cash in on the Hall of Fame and retired player marked.  Fleer's Greats of the Game was just one in a long line of products to fill that niche.

Robin has a base card in the set and a bunch of relic and auto cards to chase.  But here's something unique, and maybe it's just early in the trend, but this set has no base parallels.  I do love the full career stats on the back.  Plus the card has a nice feel to it.  And I actually me the feel you get when you touch it.

2000 Fleer Greats of the Game

Card Manufacturer: Fleer

Card Set: Greats of the Game

Year: 2000

Card Number: 57

Card Type: Base

A great, but small set of cards in this issue from Fleer.  The main selling point of the product was the 4 on card autographed cards per box and the checklist was pretty stacked.  Autos from this set still demand a pretty decent price.  Robin also has a short printed auto in the set.

His base card isn't so bad either. I like that it looks like he's about to jump out of the card, as Fleer cropped the left side, but has Robin's arm and glove spilling out off the right.

The back is a great resource of information too, with full MLB career stats and a nice little write up with a few interesting facts.

2006 Fleer Greats of the Game Decade Greats Bat Card

Card Manufacturer: Fleer

Card Set: Greats of the Game

Year: 2006

Card Number: DEC-RY

Card Type: Insert Relic

Insert Set: Decade Greats

Relic Type: Bat

Fleer's 2006 Greats of the Game was a great set featuring tons of HOFers and other popular players.  This would be the fifth and final time Fleer would put out this brand, but overall it was a pretty great set with lots of great autos and relics to be had

Robin has a base card in the set, as well as, a couple of inserts.

That includes this great relic card from the Decade Greats insert set.  There is also a base version of this card and also an autograph and relic autograph version.

The overall look of the card is pretty good. I love the use of Brewer's colors, the old school logo, and great action shot of Robin.  But the placement of the relic seems wrong with it cutting off Robin's hand.
