I pulled the trigger on a National Baseball Card Day Cubs team set. It was more than I'd usually pay, but it was cheaper than what most are going for. I'm not sure why these sets are not very plentiful. There were supposed to be 10,000 sets given away at the ballpark. Did most people just toss theirs?
The Cubs set consists of 10 cards. A couple weeks ago I showed the four I got from a single pack. Today I'll show the entire set.
There are three pitchers and seven position players. The only big names missing are Almora and Heyward. Darvish was skipped too, which mirrors his season.
I think it's pretty awesome that Topps paired up with every MLB team to produce these stadium giveaways. I wonder how many collectors are going to track down all 30 team sets.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice looking cards!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have made it to that game. Still chasing the 2013 stadium giveaways.
ReplyDeleteI need to find someone who got the Giants giveaway and grabbed a McCutchen.
