RIP Gallery


 Gallery was the oldest of the recently departed Topps sets that I collect, having debuted in 1996.  However, it didn't have the most sets, as it was inactive for 12 of the years of it's lifespan.

Here's the set stats:

Total number of Cubs cards: 106
High number of Cubs in a year: 2018 - 12 cards
Low number of Cubs in a year: 2001 - 4 cards
Most popular Cub: Sammy Sosa - 11 cards


FYI - the mosaic includes some of the inserts, so you may see more cards for a few years than listed in the chart.

  1. I'm shocked that you didn't include the Gallery Hall of Fame Set seeing Mr. Cub in a day & night scenes are definitely a classic card showing the younger generation what could have been had the Cubs played under the lights at home during his Era & where you could also pull a Joe Tinker game used card.
