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.

1988 Nestle Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

44 cards in the 1988 Nestle collection included 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

This collection was created by Mike Schechter Associates for Nestle and printed in Canada. The Major League Baseball did not appear to have granted the Nestle set a license, as seen by the absence of team logos in the pictures. This front has a player portrait with a big nestle on top, yellow borders, and the player's name, position, and team on the bottom. The reverse of the cards features the normal bio, while the backs are printed in red and blue on white card paper.
