Each of the three regular insert sets have some Cubs
Bryant and Rizzo are in the Infinite set. These are interesting looking cards, with a faded player picture on top of an outside view of Wrigley Field.
Lackey and Lester have cards in the Perspectives set. I always find it a little odd when a player has a card in an insert set, but not the base set, which is what happened with John Lackey. The guy doens't make the cut with a 200 card list, but is included in a set of just 20.
The Program set has both Bryant and Hendricks. It's nice to see Kyle Hendricks included in a few inserts. The poor program is torn in the corners. I wouldn't include it in my collection!
I have to admit, with the Topps Bunt set, the inserts to seem to look a little different than the norm. Those Infinite cards I could see being spun into maddening levels of parallel versions because of the tint, but I like how Wrigley is intertwined into the card. And the program cards, while your point is well taken, does look different and offer a variable perspective. The set with Lackey and Lester doesn't look right for some reason.
