There were a whopping 14 Cubs in the set, It's nice that there were so many, put kinda pathetic too. When your team's update numbers are big, that means the team is in a state of change. That was certainly true for the 2013 Cubs, since a team-record 56 different players this year (topping the record set last year by three).
The rest of these guys are all on 40 man roster, but it will be interesting to see where they land by the end of spring training next year.
What's interesting about the Feldman and Strop cards is that the Strop is not photoshopped into a Cubs uniform AND mentions the Feldman trade on the back. Topps should have had plenty of time to put Feldman on the Orioles...
ReplyDeleteI haven't purchased any update yet, and I'm really bummed to learn of Topps' laziness. They could have included Logan Watkins instead of Feldman. What a bummer.
DeleteI thought the Brian Bogusevic card was a sloppy photoshop job until I realized that we are, in fact, seeing illuminated arm hair.
ReplyDeleteGlad that Topps gave us another throwback uni card.
