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.

1984 7-Eleven Coins Chicago Checklist

Number of Cards

54 coins in the 1984 7-Eleven collection included 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The size of the discs are 1 3/4" diameter

Basic Features

Collecting coins and discs is enjoyable, and the 1980s offered a wide variety of sets.

The 1984 Super Star Sports Coins there were three regional 16-coin releases, with a player from every MLB franchise. The first six player coins are numbered in Roman numerals in all three sets. The Slurpee cups had the coins fastened to the bottom.

The first 12-coin set of 7-Eleven Coins (officially called Slurpee Discs) was released in 1983 as a promotional item. There were eight distinct sets over the years. 1984 was the second set.

Each location has the same first six coins; the final eight (nine to sixteen) were presumably chosen to highlight players from that region. Using lenticular technology, the coin's front produces printed images that can alter in appearance depending on the angle from which they are seen. One picture shows an action scene, while the other is a player bust. The player's name appears at the bottom, with their team name above and their uniform number on each side. The player's career record and the Coins are numbered on the back, which is different from the uniform number which is on the front of the coin.
