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.

1989 Perez Steele Celebration set

Number of Cards

1989 Perez Steele Celebration has 44 cards which there are 3 Cubs players

Size of Cards

The size of the post cards are 3-1/2" by 5-1/2"

Basic Features

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and this set features artwork by artist Dick Perez. The backs of the cards are in postcard style. A gorgeous painting of an all-time great Cubs player graces the front of the post card. It's Perez's best work to date, in my opinion. The reverse features a post card back and is numbered up to 10,000. The player's name and the date of their induction into the hall of fame are included on the cards.

You can acquire the players' autographs on these. If you're interested in collecting one, be sure it's been graded by a respected company.
