In 2007, HeroDecks put out a set of Chicago Cubs playing cards. The Cubs are one of 16 MLB teams that have a deck. Does anyone else have their team? I picked my cards off of ebay a while back. I got two decks (one to play with, one to save) for a much better price than the $9.95 on the HeroDeck website.
The cards feature a blue back with a baseball. The front has the card designation, plus a color caricature of a Cubs player. The pictures all seem to be done very nicely. I'm thinking that the entire deck would look nice in a large frame.
I'll be showing a different suit each of the next four days.
Today, its the Clubs, which feature the oldest of all the players. This group includes several players from the 1907-1908 World Champs, and the Cubs all time hits leader, Cap Anson
Tomorrow, it will be the Diamonds.
I have the Reds set, plus an extra Mario Soto I picked up before buying the full deck. I think they are great. I can't wait to see the next suit of Cubs! :)
ReplyDeleteI've got the Yankees and the Mariners so I could pick up the Winfield and Hendu I needed for my player collections. I've been selling the rest off for $1 each on Sportlots. I've more than made back what I paid for them.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees have actually had two sets with slightly different players, but I haven't been able to track down the earlier version.
