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.

1985 Leaf Chicago Cubs Checklist



Number of Cards

1985 Leaf has 264 cards which there are 12 Cubs Players

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

The Donruss Company, in partnership with its new parent company, Leaf, released this set specifically for the Canadian market. While the cards share similarities with the Donruss U.S. standard issue featuring the same players, they differ in card numbers and include bilingual backs in both French and English. As is typical with Canadian sets, there is a strong emphasis on players from Canadian teams and those American teams nearest to the Canadian border. Notably, the players designated as Diamond Kings do not have corresponding regular cards in this set. Each player card is numbered on the reverse side.
