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 Fleer Chicago Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1984 Fleer has 660 cards which there are 22 Cubs players and 9 Update cards.

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

A color photograph is bordered by a white border and horizontal blue stripes on the cards. The Fleer emblem is on the top blue stripe, while the player's name is on the bottom blue stripe. Along the bottom is the team logo, as well as the player's position.

The backs are quite identical to the 1983 backs, with the exception that blue ink is used instead of brown, and there is a small black and white player photo on the back, along with stats and a short bio. There is also a "Do You Know?" section on most cards, which features trivia about the players.

Rick Sutcliffe made the update set and had his best career season in 1984 with the division-winning Cubs.

Subsets Include:

  • Team Logo Stickers
  • Checklist Featuring 2 Different Teams (CL)
  • Highlight cards (HL) (626-646)
