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.

1987 Nestle Dream Team Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1987 Nestle Dream Team had 33 cards, one of which was a Cubs player.

Size of Cards

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

Basic Features

Cards have color-coded borders by era. The first 11 card photos are in black and white and are called the Golden Era (1–11). The other two sets were the AL Modern Era (12-22 red) and the NL Modern Era (23-33 blue). The Nestle set was apparently not licensed by Major League Baseball, and had no team logos, as shown in the photos. Six-packs of certain Nestle candy bars contained three cards; cards were also available through a mail-in offer.
