Continuing with my 2018 Black Friday haul from COMC is the rarest of the Younts I picked up over that last year.  I actually bought this one way back in February.  It was hard to pass up for a little over $3.  The sapphire parallel numbered to only 25 is the only parallel for this set and the blue foil really pops in hand and doesn't look to bad scanned as well.  I'm surprised I found a copy of this card at all, let alone for so cheap.  And I'm really glad I was able to add this one to the collection.

Maybe it's just me, but I love getting new Yount cards. And I'm not talking about autos and relics.  I'm talking about just a nice plain old insert like this one here.  Sure it doesn't have logos and Robin's photo is in black and white, which is probably better then having to look at the terrible photoshop colors Panini changes the uniforms to.

Overall a pretty appealing card the gold foil works well with the dark card.

2016 Panini Diamond Kings Yount Checklist and Gallery

Robin gets a couple cards in this year's Diamond Kings.  One insert and an autograph each with one parallel and all are pretty rare except for the Heritage Collection base insert.  I'll post more images when I find them.

2004 Donruss Diamond Kings Heritage Collection

Year: 2004

Manufacturer: Donruss

Card Set: Diamond Kings

Card Type: Insert

Insert Set: Heritage Collection

Card Number: HC-16

Donruss' 2004 Diamond Kings sets is one of those behemoth sets put out in the early 2000's that has just so many inserts and variations it'll will make your head spin and keeping track of it all can be a challenge.

Robin features very prominently in the set having tons of cards to chase including this insert set.  Like most of these types of insert it was designed with the relic and autograph variations in mind.  Robin has relic and an autograph variation in this set.  Although I've never seen one of his autographed cards from the set, there are only 5, I have seen some examples of the set and the auto sticker does tend to cover part of the player.  

It's still a great looking card and a card that would look great hard signed if you got the chance.
