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.

Basic Features

Fleer produced this 44-card boxed standard-size set, although it was primarily distributed by McCrory. The set is subtitled "Fleer Superstars." The set was packaged in a red, white, blue, and yellow custom box along with six logo stickers. The fronts of the cards have red, white, and blue stripes with a yellow ribbon, and action shots of the player on the reverse are red, white, and blue with a small bio and career stats.

The set's checklist is included on the back of the set box. Six stickers from the Fleer main collection from 1988 were also included. The bottoms of the boxes that held the individual set boxes also contained a panel of six cards; these box-bottom cards were numbered C1 through C6 and are a little harder to get.
