frank robinson is in my hall of famer collection

in a perfect world, the card representing frank robinson's membership in my hall of famer collection would be a buyback autograph of his 1974 topps card.  instead, i have this card:

that would be a 1995 upper deck autographs card.  here's the back:

and here's the uda coa:

i should clarify that redemption cards for this (and four other autograph subjects) were inserted in to packs of 1995 upper deck series 2 cards.  i was lucky enough to pull a "trade" card, but no autos.  the other four, if you are curious, are were reggie jackson, willie mays, roger clemens, and raul mondesi.

my first frank robinson card was his 1974 topps issue, which is why that would be the perfect card to have in this collection.  he was shown as an angel on that card, but by the time i acquired it, he was retired from the game. he showed up later as a manager of the giants in my 1982 packs of donruss, but by that time, i had him pegged as an angel.  of course, i had also by then realized that he had been a dodger, and i had tracked down his 1973 topps card (which is an abomination, but i really really like it), and was pining for his 1972 topps high number traded card which i finally picked up several years later.

i also learned about his career, which was incredible.  the triple crown, mvp in both leagues, 1966 world series mvp, retired as 4th all-time in home runs, first african-american manager, manager of the year, and, among other things, hall of famer.
