The Cubs once again teamed up with Topps to produce a set exclusive to season ticket holders. Prices for the 15-card set on eBay have been much higher this year than in the past. I guess the season ticket holders are looking to recoup some of the cost of their tickets.
As an aside, yesterday the Cubs announced the prices for 2025 season tickets and there is an average of a 6.7% increase per ticket. Making that increase worse, the Cubs will have just 79 home dates next year as two games being played in Tokyo in March are being counted as home games.
Back to the cards...
There are 15 cards in the set and most are current players with a couple of prospects tossed in. Michael Busch and Shota Imanaga are included and shown in actual Cubs uniforms (from pictures taken during spring training), not a photoshop job, so kudos to the Cubs for that.
The design is the 1984 Topps design with the Cubs season ticket holder logo added. The backs are also the 1984 design.
As I look back that 1984 design was truly underrated
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they used the All-Star design for two of them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool bonus for season ticket holders. Kinda surprised more teams don't do this since cards are so popular again.
