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.

1986 Topps Super Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

The 1986 Topps Super collection consists of 60 cards, with two cards from the Cubs team.

Card Dimensions

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

Basic Features

Massive editions of the Topps standard series showcasing some of the most cherished players. These cards are similar to the regular Topps issue, with two key distinctions: the back features a different numbering system, and an additional line emphasizes a player's accomplishment from the end of the 1985 season. This year marks the last time the oversized set will be produced for quite some time.
