Seiya Suzuki Follows the Rule

 I've picked up a relic card of Cubs rookie Seiya Suzuki.

It comes from Panini's Chronicle set, the America's Pastime insert set.  Yes, I know that this doesn't have logos.  But he hasn't had a relic card in a Topps set yet, so this is the best I can do.  I do like the big blue piece.  That gives me some reassurance that this comes from a Cubs jersey.

Suzuki is, by my count, the 94th Cubs player to have a relic card issued in a year that a player played for the Cubs and the card shows him as a Cub (or Chicago).

Here's a look at all 94.

And here they are listed in alphabetical order. The bold names are current Cubs.  It's down to just four players with the recent roster purge,
