It's the 2002 Bowman Heritage card for Fred McGriff.
One of the first sets I completed when I returned to collecting was the Heritage set. I loved the vintage / modern combo. So did lots of other collectors. So did Topps.
When Heritage was first released in 2001, Topps also issued a Bowman Heritage set. The cards mimicked the Bowman sets from the early 1950s. Bowman Heritage sets were issued through 2007.
About the same time Chad's card arrived, I saw that Topps was reviving Bowman Heritage with a 2019 set. I found a listing for the Cubs team set. The BIN button was clicked (the set should be arriving soon) and I then started looking for checklists for the earlier Bowman Heritage sets. Let the quest begin!
The checklists and the cards were fairly easy to find. I spent some more Christmas money and should have the 2001 - 2007 Bowman Heritage cards soon, too.
There are 107 Cubs Bowman Heritage cards altogether. Stay tuned for them!
