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 Topps 3-D Baseball Stars

Number of Cards

Topps 3-D 1985 Baseball Stars has 30 cards, of which 2 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The over-sized cards are very awkward. Cards measure 4 1/4" x 5 7/8"

Basic Features

With this particular two-year set, 85 and 86, Topps outdid themselves. These are light plastic cards whose Action Packed-style graphics are lifted above the surface to resemble three-dimensional players. Except for two peel-off adhesive strips, the backs are blank.
