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.

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.
