Schwarber-time Again for the Cubs?

The World Series Champ could be ready to put his fi rst full season together in Chi-Town
Chicago Cubs Kyle Schwarber is one of the more interesting stories to watch going into the 2017 season. The now 23-year-old was called up in the second half of the 2015 season. He burst onto the scene with 16 Home Runs and 43 RBI in just 69 games. Collectors jumped on board heavily, giving his early 2016 Rookie Cards like 2016 Topps #66A ($.75-$2.00) a boost, and 2014 Bowman Chrome Draft, Draft Pick Autographs #BCAKS ($60-$150) even more promise. With the Cubs highly favored to win it all, he was primed to play a key role on a highly successful, if not Championship team. Great rewards were in store for fans and card investors alike.

Junk Wax Era 1988 Score
The rise in the popularity of baseball cards that would lead up to the Junk Wax Era began as early as the late 1970s, and the introduction of two new manufacturers helped spur further growth in the early 1980s. But the interest in baseball cards would reach a fever pitch by 1988, which would mark the first year since 1981 that a new manufacturer would enter the fold.
