Cubs players or teams landed in all of the decades except the 1960s and the 2000s.
Mr. Cub gets two cards from the 1950s, one each for his back-to-back MVP seasons of 1958 and 1959/
Fergie gets a card for being one of the best pitchers of the 1970s. Too bad that Topps used a picture from the 1980s. I wonder if anyone there was even aware that he was with the Cubs in 1982 and 1983?
Ryno was one of the best batters in the 1980s. He put up offensive numbers by a second baseman that hadn't been seen in a long time.
Sammy was one of the best batters and an award winner in the 1990s.
From the 2010s we get the World Series winners (P-Town Tom--- you'll need to get that card for your World Series binder) and the 2016 MVP.
Topps sure hooked up Cubs collectors. They have more cards in this set than my favorite teams combined (Oak has 3, SD has only 1).
ReplyDeleteGotta love new and beautiful. The Decades Best designs are actually somewhat similar to the base design. Perhaps the base design should have stayed closer to the Decades Best design.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Thanks for the heads up! That's a great looking card!
