Where Were They Taken....Topps 1972 Cubs

There was a dramatic shift in the location on most of the 1972 Cubs.  For the past few years, shots at Shea dominated.  But in 1972, Shea dropped off to just...

These two locations account for 23 of the 25 regular player cards.  There are two more cards left and they are both...
