2020 Cubs Season Ticket Holder Topps Set

 I had no idea.

Apparently, in 2021 the Cubs offered a 50-card set as a gift to season ticket holders.  Topps made the cards, which have a copyright date of 2020.

I saw a set on Ebay while doing a Cubs team set search.  I don't know why this hasn't shown up on any previous searches.  I paid more than usual for a set of 50 cards, but it seems like a nice odd-ball set to add to the collection.  Plus, I have more (most... all) of the Cubs team-issued sets, so leaving a hole in the collection isn't really an option.

The set has 50 cards that use Topps designs from past years.  In fact, the fifty cards use fifty different designs.  Not once did they use two from the same year.  I'll have a post later that shows the designs year by year.

The Cubs and Topps did get a bit cheap and lazy.  Cheap, because the cards are printed on a flimsy stock, not the usual card stock.  Cheap too because the cards are all printed without any of the shiny foil printing used on sets from the past twenty or so years.

Lazy, because the backs of the cards don't have the usual information.

The 50 cards are divided into several subsets and I'll be showing the cards by subset.

Today's subset consists of the first 15 cards and is made up of players from the 2020 team.  The cards are shown in numerical order, #1-15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How sad is is that two years later, nearly 2/3 of the players are not with the Cubs any longer.
