The 2016 Series One checklist gave me an autograph and a relic that meet my collection rule.
Schwarber was included in Topps Postseason relic insert set, so I picked up this card. It is /100. His homer in the NLDS that landed on the top of the right field video board was a post season highlight.
There is, of course, this little disclaimer. You wouldn't expect a postseason piece in a set called Postseason, would you? That's just crazy talk.
The relic tally is now up to 74 different Cubs with at least one certified relic card released during a year they played for the Cubs and the card shows the player as a Cub.
Here's the autograph, of Jason Hammel. Too bad its a sticker auto.
The autograph total is now up to 116.
I would imagine that sometime this year Jason Heyward will be added to both lists.
Oh, and don't forget about Ben Zobrist!
