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.

1987 Burger King Chicago Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

In 1987 Burger King had 20 cards, among which was 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The standard-sized cards are the following dimensions: 2-1/2" by 3-1/2"

Basic Features

This 20-card set includes ten panels of two cards each put together, as well as a coupon. The panels are roughly 3 1/2" by 7 5/8" and the individual cards are 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". As such, MLB Properties is not licensed by this set, and as such, team logos have been airbrushed from the pictures. The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the words "2nd Edition Series" on the front.
