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.

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.
