Topps Cubs Team Pitcure set
This article focuses on the Cubs team cards produced by Topps. I must express that my favorite is the 1971 card, particularly due to its unique floating heads and autographs. The 1962 card holds the highest value, as it is a short print and warrants a premium price. The 1956 card features three distinct front designs. There was a significant hiatus in the release of team cards from 1982 until 2001. What is the story behind the 2003 team card and its wall? I hope I haven't overlooked any years. Please take a look at the images below and determine which one you prefer.

The pictures of the 60's Cubs were re-used quite a bit. The 1960 photo was used in 1963, 1964 and 1965! The 1961 was re-used in 1962.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info topps always been know as a cheap company
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I think Topps used the wall to hide batboys that were sitting on the ground--I read somewhere that they couldn't show them because they weren't a part of the license.
ReplyDeleteLearn something new every day. thx WW for info now I have to check other team cards and see if they have walls.
