Yes, you read that right. I have the just-released 2021 Bowman Heritage Cubs cards. Two years after the 2021 season began, and 14 months after the announced release date, Topps has finally made the 2021 Bowman Heritage set available. It was so old that Topps bundled the 2021 boxes with Bowman Heritage 2022.
2021 Bowman Heritage uses the 1993 Bowman design. The set has a checklist of 100 veterans and rookies along with another 150 cards for prospects.
These are the only two Cubs in the veteran / rookie section. Marquez was the designated Cubs rookie in many 2021 Topps sets. Injuries have derailed his career.
There are ten Cubs among the 150 prospects, which is a pretty high number. Several came from the trades the Cubs made during the 2021 season. Crow-Armstrong was acquired in the Javier Baez trade with the Mets while Alcantara and Vizcaino came from the Yankees for Anthony Rizzo.
And where are these guys now?
Alcantara - High A South Bend
Amaya - AA Tennessee
Crow-Armstrong - AA Tennessee
Davis - AAA Iowa
Hernandex - Low A Myrtle Beach
Howard - recovering from a hip injury, not playing
Made - High A South Bend
Mena - still in the organization, but no stats for the year. At the Cubs camp in Arizona?
Morel - AAA Iowa
Vizcaino - out of baseball. He never showed up to spring training in 2022, so it looks like he quit
