These team sets are a regular yearly issue from Topps and while they are basically just renumbered versions of some of the Cubs cards from base issue Topps, the timing of the release gives us a preview of some cards that won't be released until Series 2. The cards marked with a '**' on the checklist below are the cards that weren't in Series 1. One other notable card in this set is the Starlin Castro card, which has the same photo as his card in Series 1, but also features the Topps Rookie Cup which his regular Series 1 card does not.

Those are two of the WORST photoshopping jobs this year. And that's saying something. But I love the Wrigley Field cards-it seems you can't go wrong with Wrigley, especially when you get the whole stadium. I'm still trying to chase down the 2010 Upper Deck Wrigley Field card.
