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 Donruss Highlights Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1987 Donruss Highlights set has 56 cards which there are 3 Cubs players

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

Late in 1987, Donruss' third and final issue of Highlights was published. The cards are glossy and of a typical size. Cards honor the players and pitchers of the month from each league, as well as occasions from the 1987 season. The set came with a little Roberto Clemente puzzle and was packaged in its own red, black, blue, and gold box. With the exception of the Highlights logo being positioned in the bottom right corner and the borders being blue rather than black, the card fronts are identical to those of the standard 1987 Donruss release.

The backs are printed in black and gold on white card stock.
