Debut Decline

On Thursday I showed all of the 2018 Cubs Pro Debut cards, all two of them.  This marks quite a decline in Cubs since the brand made its debut in 2010.  There were 440 cards in that first set and 16 of them were Cubs, 3.6% of the set.

Over the years, here's how the Cubs broke down in the set:
2010 - 440 cards - 16 Cubs - 3.6%
2011 - 330 cards - 14 Cubs - 4.2%
2012 - 220 cards - 6 Cubs - 2.7%
2013 - 220 cards - 10 Cubs - 4.5%
2014 - 220 cards - 10 Cubs - 4.5%
2015 - 200 cards - 9 Cubs - 4.5%
2016 - 200 cards - 11 Cubs - 5.5%
2017 - 200 cards - 5 Cubs - 2.5%
2018 - 200 cards - 2 Cubs - 1%

Here's a visual representation of the Debut decline...

That, as they  say on Seifeld, is some serious shrinkage.
