I have my Cubs from 2023 Topps!
The 330 card first series came out a couple of weeks ago. I preordered a team set and it arrived last week.
The Cubs have 11 cards in the set. That is a bring improvement over the five in last year's first series. In fact, 330 cards divided equally between 30 teams would mean 11 cards per team. So the Cubs came out right on track.
The team card says on it "Team Card." Thanks Topps. We couldn't have figured that out by ourselves! The card shows the celebration after a sacrifice fly by Christopher Morel brought in the winning run against the Brewers on June 1.
Of the ten player cards, just one is not with the Cubs any longer. That is a surprisingly good result by Topps, considering the early print deadline for series one.
Frank Schwindel, released on September 18, 2022, is the only ex-Cub. You'd think Topps could have done something about that. September 18 seems early enough for a change.
And only one City Connect uniform!
ReplyDeleteThough Schwindel card seems to have a very clear background where you can almost make out the fans in the stands
