2003 Donruss Timeless Treasures HOF Materials Jersey Relic

Year: 2003
Manufacturer: Donruss
Card Set: Timeless Treasures
Card Number: HOF-43
Card Type: Insert Relic
Card Attributes: Relic, Serial numbered
Insert Set: HOF Materials
Relic Type: Jersey
Serial number: 034/100

In 2003 there were almost 100 different baseball card releases. And that's a lot of sets, but what made this year and the next couple so crazy was the explosion of parallels within the sets, inserts, relic, autograph, and relic autograph cards.  Robin has 16 different cards in this set with all the parallels.  He also happens to two cards in the HOF Materials insert set.  He's also featured on card #HOF-18 with a bat relic.  But what is really great about this set and especially this card is the jersey that this swatch is taken from is featured and fully recognized as the source on the back of the card.  Something that is sorely missing in today's, not from any specific event, date, or game,  relic cards.  The card features a very young, maybe still in his teens, Yount in batting pose, although very little of him.  Still this is from a time where relics were still a pretty sought after hit in products and with both his relics in this set being numbered to only 100 fairly rare.

2014 Panini Classics Timeless Tributes Silver

Year:  2014
Manufacturer: Panini
Set: Classics Baseball
Card Number: 113
Card Type: Base Parallel
Parallel Set: Timeless Tributes Silver
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 090/149

COMC Black Friday Haul #26

I picked up some nice parallels this last card season.  One of those was this Panini Classics Time Tributes Silver parallel.  There are two other Timeless Tributes parallels the Gold and Platinum, numbered to 25 and 1, so the likelyhood of those parallel falling into the collection are slim, but I'm glad to be able to add this fairly low numbered card.  While not as terrible as some of the other cards Robin has in Panini products it's still not great.  Not so terrible that I'm not going to add this card to the collection, but still...  The airbrushing isn't huge on the card with just the batting helmet logo gone and the uniform color isn't as terrible as some of the other cards I've seen where it's recolored to a dark navy blue and almost black.  Nice little blurb on the back with career totals.
