That's a great project. There are plenty of good Cubs during that run. Cavarretta, Pafko, Sauer, Schmitz, Rush, Frisch, Minner. All those guys matter. Then the big one in 55, but also the Gene Baker in 55 is a personal favorite. Gene was the 2nd black player to play for the Cubs.
I've messed around with a 51 Bowman Cubs set because that set is so pretty. I still need a few.
