I came back to the hobby in 2010, sticking with pretty much just the flagship from Topps. It was until later in 2011 (and really more in 2012 when I started the blog) that I started branching out into other stuff. One of those sets that flew under my radar and escaped any eBay bulk lot purchases and trades thus far was 2010's Topps National Chicle set. I've seen most of the cards before (maybe leading me to believe I already had some, if not all) but I didn't have a single one in my collection. Score!
From what I can tell, the Cubs team set consists of eight base cards and from the box break, I got seven of them. Not too shabby!
Alfonso Soriano & Aramis Ramirez
Carlos Zambrano
Derrek Lee and Marlon Byrd
Ted Lilly and Ernie Banks
The Ernie Banks was a regular base card, but it looks like he has an SP in the set as well. The only base card I missed pulling was Kosuke Fukudome.
Thanks again, Chris for the break. I think I'll get 2-3 more posts out of the loot.
I've always enjoyed the National Chicle cards. They look like they would be great for autographs.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept but the artwork is no Dick Perez.
