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.

1984 Cubs Seven-Up

Number of Cards

1984 Cubs Seven-Up has 28 cards

Card Dimensions

The standard-sized cards are the following dimensions: 2-1/2" by 3-1/2"

Basic Features

The cards are in full bleed color (Full bleed printing is printing to the edge of the paper so the final result has no margins) featuring action images from one of the greatest Cubs teams in recent memory.

The card backs are printed in black on white card stock and contain the usual statistics about their career.

This set was given out during a game during that magical season. The Cubs haven't been to a playoff in about 40 years. The last game was supposed to be played at Wrigley Field, but the commissioner, Bowie Kuhn, said "no light, no game." It was moved to San Diego.
