Lee Smith Living Set

 It had been over half of a year, but a Cub was finally included in the Living Set.

Hall of Famer Lee Smith is the 20th Cub to make the set.  He went into Cooperstown as a Cub, so it makes sense that he's a Cub in the Living Set.

The print run of the card was pretty low, just 1,775 copies.  That is by far the lowest of the four Hall of Fame Cubs in the set, and the fourth lowest of all 20 Cubs.  You can see how the set seems to have really lost its steam when you check out the print runs of the Cubs players.  It been a pretty steady decline.

On the positive side, the 20 Cubs cards combine nicely into a 4 x 5 mosaic.
