Welcome Cubs Fans!

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.

Basic Features

In 1980, Topps produced a Pepsi test set. Allegedly, they made three full sheets of cards, front and back, to present to Pepsi executives. Unfortunately, the deal did not materialize, and the collection was never made available to the public. The cards from this set are highly scarce. It is possible that this Topps test edition is the most valuable one ever, as individual cards featuring even the most ordinary players can sell for more than $1,000. Therefore, exercise caution if you are considering investing in these cards.

In order to avoid falling victim to purchasing a counterfeit historical artifact, it is essential to acquire a professionally graded card from a well-established provider. By doing so, you can guarantee the authenticity of the item and protect yourself from any potential scams. Additionally, it is important to recognize that graded cards are projected to appreciate significantly in value in the future, making them a valuable asset to possess.
