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.

1984 Topps Stickers Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

386 cards in the 1984 Topps Stickers collection included 14 Cubs players two of which are future stars.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards measure approximately 1 15/16" by 2 9/16"

Basic Features

Made in Italy for Topps by Panini. White-bordered color player photographs are used on the fronts. The stickers may be placed on an album, which was sold in retail establishments. The typical All-Star Players subset, which has a foil border, is included in this set. There was a missing some stickers offer on the back. You only needed to send a dollar to get 10 stickers.

O-Pee-Chee was exactly the same as the Topps set except that the horizontal backs carry a bilingual ad for O-Pee-Chee in red lettering. Look for differences at the bottom. There was a bilingual player's position in the album, and the backs had an offer in both languages.
