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.

189 new cards in this set, whose numbering sequence starts at 294, are essentially an extension of the previous TCMA Stars in 1978.

TCMA initially charged $9.99.

Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein are known as TCMA. It's a play on the names of the company's two founders. Throughout TCMA's 15-year existence, the business mostly manufactured cards that paid respect to the game's golden age, focusing on teams and stars from the 1920s to the 1950s.

The set seems to be produced in much smaller numbers, making the cards much harder to find than the cards from the 1978 TCMA set.

To ensure you don't purchase a counterfeit piece of history, always obtain a professionally graded card from a trusted seller. Graded cards are expected to appreciate significantly in value over time.
