Where Were They Taken.... Topps 1971 Cubs

This year was even easier than the 1970 cards.  Of the 27 Cubs cards...


....25 are Shea shots.  The Topps photographers didn't stray too far from home for this set!

Of the two non-Shea cards, one I can identify...


.... as Billy gets hit picture taken at Candlestick Park.  The astroturf and the orange seats are the tipoff to that.


This picture shows the Astroturf being installed at Candlestick in February, 1970, and also gives a good look at the orange seats.

That leaves just one more card...


... and Hector Torres gets added to the "I don't know" pile.  It's most likely a spring training shot, probably in Florida as Hector was with the Astros in the spring of 1970.
