The Impossible Insert Set for PCA

 Today I have the last 2024 series two insert set and with this one, it is impossible for PCA to be included.  Well, I'd like to think that it is impossible, but in today's crazy world, who knows?

In a set called "Women in Baseball, I'd like to think that we won't see a PCA card.  Rachel Folden has been with the Cubs organization since being hired by the Cubs in November of 2019.  She worked with the Cubs teams in the Arizona Instructional League before being promoted in 2024 as the hitting coach for the AA Tennessee Smokies.  

You'd think that this would be my first Topps Cubs card that features a female, but it isn't even the first one this year.

Remember seeing this from just a few days ago?

 

And there were women in some of the other First Pitch cards.

However, Folden is the first female Cubs employee to have a Topps card, as far as I am aware.  It will be interesting to see if she continues her climb through the organization and ends up on the big league staff some day.
