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.

1988 1941 Goudey Reprints Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

33 cards in the 1941 Goudey Reprints which there are 2 Cubs players which each have 4 differant color fronts.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are (approximately) 2 3/8" x 2 7/8"

Basic Features

This set was produced by Larry Fritsch, a long time vintage dealer who does most of his business by mail order. This set is reprinted from the 1941 Goudey. These reprints are not considered unlicensed cards. They feature black and white player photos silhouetted against a full color background. (The four backgrounds are Green, Yellow, Blue, and Red). The backs of the cards are blank.

Let's be honest, this wasn't one of the best Goudey sets. They folded in 1941, and I must say the reprints aren't much better.
