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.

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.
