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.

1985 Topps Super Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

The 1985 Topps Super collection consists of 60 cards, with three cards from the Cubs team.

Card Dimensions

The super-sized cards are the following dimensions: 4 7/8″ by 6 7/8″

Basic Features

The set closely resembles the original in every way except for the measurements. The layout and visuals are exactly the same, with the only difference being the design of the card numbers. Due to their bulkiness and difficulty in storing them in books, this collection from the junk era is less common than the primary Topps set from '85.
