The Cubs were loaded with cards in the Heritage High Clubhouse Collection. I've picked up all the Cubs in Clubhouse Collection since the start of Heritage, so of course I had to get the six included in the High Number set. The frustrating thing is that of the six, four players already had a CC in the regular Heritage set. Is it really necessary for them to have another in the High set?
Topps did make an improvement, however.
The regular CC cards have a white background, which is very out of place for a set using the 1971 design. The CC card in High use a much more appropriate black background.
These two players didn't have a CC card in regular Heritage. There is also something odd with the Hoerner card - it is almost impossible to find. Brentandbecca opened 30 cases and didn't pull a single one. I've found just three listed on eBay, one of which I bought. And luckily for me, the seller didn't list it very well so there wasn't much action with it.
These are the repeat customers. Too bad Topps didn't make one for Kyle Hendricks or Alec Mills. At least there is no Robel Garcia relic!
