Welcome Cubs Fans!

This blog will discuss the 1980s and the baseball card collecting hobby, with a focus on the Chicago Cubs. Contrary to vintage baseball cards, the majority of modern cards are affordable. The various sets will be considerably simpler to obtain. So, with thousands of cards in between, we'll start with 80 Topps and end with 89 Upper Deck. The apex of this period was represented by the Sandberg Rookie of the Year in 1983.

Chicago Cubs Topps Traded

Topps Traded design is the same as the main Topps set on the front. Rather than continuing the numbering like 1981 Topps Traded, things start fresh here with a ‘T’ added. The colors on the back are also different. For 1982 Topps, they’re green. Traded opts for red.
