1981 Topps Chicago Cubs

Date Completed: 25 September 2021 (E-bay team set purchase)

Cubs 1981 Record: 38-65-3. Finished 6th in NL East

Best looking card: Bill Buckner -- like the action shot playing the field

Worst looking card: Doug Capilla -- don't like the shot from the ground up

Best Fun Facts:

• Mike Vail enjoys stamp and coin collecting and breeds Persian Cats in his spare time.
• Mick Kelleher was nicknamed "Killer" by his teammates.
• Wilie Hernandez worked as a welder in the offseason.

Things I like about this set:

• Like the front of the design a lot with the baseball hat in the lower right corner. 
• Consistency in colors for borders and matching the team colors of hat and borders.
• 16 moustaches -- this was the year of the handlebar moustache look

Things I don't like about this set:

• Poor photography especially in the 'action' photos.
• Most action photos are players standing at bat and not even taking swings
• Would have rather seen a blue border than red
