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.

1989 Topps Doubleheaders Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

24 cards in the 1989 Topps Doubleheaders collection included 2 Cubs.

Size of Cards

The size of the holders are 1 7/8" x 2 1/2", while the actual cards are only 2 1/4" x 1 11/16".

Basic Features

One two-sided card, sealed inside a plastic holder, is included in every pack. The player's 1989 Topps base card was pictured on one side, while their rookie Topps card was on the other. These are nothing like the "Doubleheaders" cards of the 1950s.
