2020 Topps Update Chicago Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

2020 Topps Update has 300 cards which there are 13 Cubs players and 4 SP

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

Usually, All-Star Game and its surrounding festivities like the Home Run Derby is a big part of the update but it never took place in 2020. So with that said Topps will have to take a different approach which means past All-Star Games and Home Run Derby performances will be featured.

There is a ton of parallels so if your into master sets like me its going to be hard to get all of them
