Welcome Cubs Fans!

This blog will explore the baseball card collecting hobby of the 1980s, particularly highlighting the Chicago Cubs. Unlike vintage baseball cards, most modern cards are quite budget-friendly. The different sets will be much easier to find. Therefore, with thousands of cards in the mix, we will begin with the 80 Topps and conclude with the highly valuable 1985 Topps Mini Test. The pinnacle of this era was marked by the Sandberg Rookie of the Year in 1983.

1988 Panini Stickers Chicago Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1988 Panini Stickers has 480 cards which there are 17 Cubs Stickers

Size of Stickers

The size measure approximately 1 15/16" by 2 11/16" (regular) and 2 1/8" by 2 11/16" (foils).

Basic Features

1988 was the first year of Panini sticker albums. A 64-page album onto which the stickers could be affixed was available at retail stores. The album features Don Mattingly on the front and a photo of a gold glove on the back.

There are 80 foil stickers in the set; these foils are essentially the non-player stickers.

The last 26 stickers in the album are actually lettered rather than numbered and are listed below as numbers 455-480. The stickers were also sold at retail outlets packed with the album as a "Complete Collectors Set." The 1988 Panini Sticker Set was heavily promoted as Panini entered the baseball sticker market under its own label after producing Topps' stickers for the previous seven years.
