2017 Topps Stickers Cubs

As they have each year since 2011, Topps put out a sticker set.  The format has stayed the same, with nine stickers per team and a half sticker team logo.

Some years its been a stretch to come up with nine Cubs to include in the set.  This year there is the opposite problem.  Who do you leave out? And to make it even tougher, the mascot got a sticker, leaving just eight spots for the players.

Left out were NL ERA leader Kyle Hendricks, All Star Jon Lester, NLCS MVP Javier Baez, and World Series star Kyle Schwarber.

Here's who Topps went with:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The team logo has been paired with the White Sox for the past five years.


Each year the White Sox sticker has been on top.   I wonder how Topps determines which team goes on the top?  Early on it could have been by wins and losses.  Not any more!

  1. Every year I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like the sticker design. These borders are a tad big but overall a nice, clean layout.

  2. Interesting that they give the mascot cards the little cartoon version inset in the upper left. I know I'm not the target but I wish I liked Clark. For some reason I don't.
