1986 MSA Jiffy Pop Discs Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1986 MSA Jiffy Pop Discs have 20 discs in the set, and there is 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The size of the discs are 2 3/4" in diameter

Basic Features

Each 2-7/8" diameter circular disc features a player image, the Jiffy Pop name, the player's name, position, and team, all enclosed inside a strong yellow border. Jiffy Pop is flanked by seven red stars on either side, and the phrase "1st Annual Collectors' Edition" is written in blue below the player's image. Because they do not have a license from Major League Baseball, the fronts do not display team logos and have the insignia airbrushed out. The discs include numbers on the back and very little player-specific personal or statistical data.

1987 Donruss Super DK's Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1987 Donruss Super DK's set has 28 cards which there was one Cubs player

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

This 28-card set was offered as part of a mail-in promotion that was described on the wax packs. The set includes Diamond King subseries (approximately 4 7/8" x 6 13/16"), which are essentially larger versions of the Diamond Kings. The original artwork from which these cards were derived was created by Dick Perez of Perez-Steele Galleries. Any Dick Perez, in my opinion, is worth collecting.

Remember, these are hard to store because of their size.

1985 Donruss Highlights Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1985 Donruss Highlights set has 56 cards which there was one Cubs player

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

In November, the 1985 Donruss Highlights package was released, and it quickly became highly well-liked. In actuality, before all of the orders could be filled, the product was sold out. The 56-card set included pictures of players who received various honors throughout the season. The NL and AL Player and Pitcher of the Month awards were given out most frequently. The final two cards displayed the Donruss projections for the Rookie of the Year from both leagues, while other cards highlighted a variety of career accomplishments. The set also came with a small puzzle featuring Lou Gehrig in addition to the cards.

The team emblem was changed to a "Highlights" logo in the bottom right corner of the card, and the border stripes were yellow/gold instead of red as in the flagship design.

1985 Donruss Highlights #41 Andre Dawson If you're a big Dawson collector, I would put this card in your collection. His accomplishment was hitting two home runs in the same inning twice, one of those at Wrigley.

1989 Chicago Cubs Rookie Cards

Because they are the first cards that feature a player in their first year of being part of a significant set, rookie cards are cool. Collecting is enjoyable, and the value of some of those rookies increases significantly over time.

If you're investing in a rookie card, you may want to consider getting a graded card from a reputable company to play it safe. One thing to consider is that graded cards keep their value longer and won't be fake.

Rookie Card: A player's first base card(s) in a regular issued, fully-licensed card set.

Due to the lack of league and team licensing, many of the cards created by Classic + Panini with others are not recognized rookie cards. For this reason, a lot of the players in these sets are still seen wearing their collegiate and high school regalia. I refer to them as pre-rookies. These cards are not considered rookies in this ranking.

A new set of player selection guidelines from Major League Baseball Properties (MLB) and the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) went into effect with the 2006 season. Only players who have actually participated in a Major League game will be permitted to appear in an MLB/MLBPA sanctioned base set going forward. Look for the new standardized, cross-brand "Rookie Card" icon on their cards.
