2022 Topps Series One Cubs Inserts - 1987

Topps continues to "honor" 35-year-old sets as inserts in the flagship. I have no idea what makes 35 worth celebrating?  Seems like 25 is a more noteworthy year to celebrate.  Are they not old enough?

2022 - 35 = 1987, which means the wood-bordered cards that were themselves a throwback to 1962.  

The 1987 insert set has 100 cards.  To show you how far the Cubs have fallen, but one of the 100 belongs to a Cub...

... and he is long-retired.  In fact, he has a card in the actual 1987 set.

 

I like the picture on the 2022 version.

In addition to the 1987 set there is a chrome version that came in silver packs.  Once again there were 100 cards and once again,


just one Cub.  The silver packs cards use another picture.  This is my favorite of all of three, Ryno doing the hop to avoid a runner.
