One Sparkly Cub

Topps brought back one of their gimmicks from 2011, the short-print sparkle cards.

There are 50 players with a sparkle variation card.  The cards seem fairly scarce and are a bit pricey, so I was glad that only one Cub made the list.  I was able to grab one.

 

Here is Anthony Rizzo's base card on the left and sparkle card on the right.  Do you see the sparkle?


It's on his neck..actually its on the chain that he's wearing.
