Cubs. Win.
The Chicago Cubs ended more than a century of futility on Thursday morning in Cleveland, winning the seventh game of the World Series in a rain-delayed extra-inning affair.
Minutes later, Topps announced the cardboard to go with it — the 2016 Topps Chicago Cubs World Series Championship set. There will be a standard version for $49.99 along with an autographed version that will include one randomly inserted signature card from top names on the team for $149.99.
They are presently available for pre-order on Topps.com.
Here’s the breakdown for the ink:
1:5 odds
Kyle Schwarber
Javier Baez
Willson Contreras
Jason Heyward
1:10 odds
Kris Bryant
Addison Russell
Anthony Rizzo
Albert Almora
According to Topps, there will be autograph parallels numbered to 199, 99, 49, 25, 10 and even 1/1s that will be sent out randomly and replace regular autographs.
