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.

1982 FBI Discs Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

32 disks in the 1982 FBI Discs collection included 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The size of the disk is 2-7/8" in diameter.

Basic Features

Canada's Fanta Beverage Inc. released this set back in 1981 and 1982. These 2 7/8" diameter, blank-backed, white cutouts from the perforated bottoms of boxes of several Bantam drinks from FBI Foods include player head shots in black and white. Each box's bottom featured two participants. The team name is to the right of the player's photo, while the player's name is to the left. It's difficult to find intact boxes because no one had heard of these when they were released.
