Wrapping Up The 2021 Flagship Inserts

 I've got the inserts recap today.


There are 48 Cubs inserts in the 2021 set.  That's a little better than last year, when there were 45.  But those numbers are way down from the years prior to that, with 63 in 2019, 101 in 2018,  87 in 2017, and 81 in 2016.  It would be nice if  the number of inserts and the number of team wins goes up in 2022, but I'm doubtful that either will happen.

The 2021 Cubs inserts....

  • Cubs were included in 17 of the 19 sets (they are missing in DH Debuts and Significant Statistics)
  • 12 different players were shown
  • 2 of the 12 players are with the Cubs right now (Contreras and Marquez)
  • 7 of of the 12 are on different teams (Baez, Bryant, Darvish, Kimbrel, Lester, Rizzo, Schwarber)
  • 3 of the 12 are retired (Banks, Maddux, Sandberg)
  • The most popular players were Javier Baez with 14 cards and Kris Bryant with 10
  • just 4 of the inserts are horizontal
  • 44 are vertical
