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.

Basic Features

The Burger King emblem is featured on the front of the cards along with the words "Collector's Series" in green ink. The 1980 Topps Burger King Pinch, Hit and Run Baseball checklist is divided into three phases: pitchers (cards 1-11), batters (cards 12-22), and base stealers/runners (cards 23-33). Each subset is numbered alphabetically according to the players' names. The back of the cards has a black and red background with the usual bio and stats.

Burger King turned out to be a disappointment for Cubs collectors, as they only had one other set that featured a Cubs player. It was a 1987 non-licensed 20-card All-Pro #18 set, which included Ryne Sandberg.
