2013 Panini Hometown Heroes - Homegrown Heroes

Year: 2013

Manufacturer: Panini

Set: Hometown Heroes

Card Type: Insert

Insert Set: Homegrown Heroes

Card Number: HH18

I featured Robin's 2013 Hometown Heroes States parallel last time and figured I keep with the same set and show one of the inserts I picked up from the set as well.  I was also able to find this base Homegrown Heroes insert to add to my Black Friday haul.  This insert also has two parallels, black and gold.  The card features a pretty simple design with the same awful photoshopped colors and logo removal.  But at least on this card we get to see Robin's face.  

2013 Panini Hometown Heroes State Parallel

Year: 2013

Manufacturer: Panini

Set: Hometown Heroes

Card Number: 19

Card Type: Parallel

Parallel Set: States 

I'm still working through my Black Friday pick-ups.  I consider myself a threefold collector.  I have player collections, team collections, and set collections.  Over the years my priorities have shifted as to how and what I collect, but Robin's player collection is by far at the top of my priorities list.  So while it's silly that parallels as simple and pointless as this one is they are something I look out for like a hawk.  The only difference between the base card and this card is the Wisconsin stamped on the front of the card.  I really like the design of this card.  I love the bright colors and the fact that Robin get card #19, his number.   I don't particularly like the photo used.  We don't get to see Robin's face.  And I don't like the terrible photoshop job done to the uniform colors and the logo removal.  There is one more parallel for this set, the zip code parallel. I'm still on the look out for that one.

The latest and greatest from Panini is the Home Town Heroes set which features a nice selection of current and retired stars and Hall of Famers. Cool thing about Yount's card is that the card number is his number. 

So far I've only gotten the base card, but the base also has two parallel versions, state and zip code. Robin also has a checklist card in this set as well that'll be on the look out for.
