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.

Number of Cards

1981 Topps Super Home Team has 102 cards which there are 9 Cubs players

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are large 4 7⁄8 x 6 7⁄8

Basic Features

Topps released a nice line of large cards featuring player portraits and facsimile autographs in 1981, but due to their size, they weren't very well received. The cards are essentially dull because they only include a checklist on the back with a player's name and the position he played. There was a mail-in offer printed on the wrapper for team sets.
