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.

1988 Score Promos + Proofs Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

110 cards in the 1989 Score Promos collection included 2 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

Although the Score promotional sample cards display a copyright date of 1988 on their backs, they were actually released to hobby dealers in late 1987. You can distinguish them from the standard 1988 cards by the zeros present in the statistics for both 1987 and career totals. Other than that, the majority of the promo cards closely resemble the regular versions featuring the same players. The proof versions of Score from 1988 were produced to test various inks and finishes.

To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
