Rookie Cup 2005

The 2017 Update set includes a insert set titled All-Rookie Cup.  The cards are reprints of the 50 players' rookie card. 

Ironically, some of the players were not on the Topps All-Rookie team or the team didn't even exist when their rookie card came out.  That leads to Cup-less cards in the All-Rookie Cup set. How Topps is that?

Topps did the same thing in 2005 when they released a set called Rookie Cup.  Five Cubs were among the 160 players in the set.

 

 

 

 

All five of these players were on the Topps All-Rookie team.  But Sandberg didn't have a cup on his card.

And if you want to get technical, neither did Santo...

...as he had a trophy, not a cup.
