Cubs Breakdown - 2012 Topps Opening Day

2012 Topps Opening Day
Topps Opening Day is back for a 15th year. Hard to believe it has been around that long! Anyway, it has basically the same formula as it always has, designed to provide a very low priced pack opening experience. Only three Cubs made the cut for the base set this year, along with a couple in the insert sets. We did get an auto this year, and the autos from this set are always among the toughest inserts of the year. Unfortunately, the auto is of a guy who is no longer with the team. But I'll probably grab one early on anyway, just so I don't have to pull out my hair looking for one a year or two down the road.

That's about all there is to say about this one. The breakdown is below.
