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.

1988 Topps Big Chicago Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

Topps Big has 264 cards which there are 7 Cubs Players

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are 2 5/8" by 3 3/4

Basic Features

The style of these cards is reminiscent to the 1956 Topps set. The cards are horizontally orientated and measure roughly 2 5/8" by 3 3/4".

Because of the cards' odd size, this set never went overboard. They're always a hit with me, and they're simple to collect.
