1988 King B Discs Beef Jerky

Number of Cards

24 disks in the King-B collection included 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The size of the disks are 2 3/8"

Basic Features

Although the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) granted permission for players' images to be used, MSA (Michael Schechter Associates) opted to save money by not obtaining licenses from the leagues. As a result, team logos were airbrushed out, a common practice for MSA products. Most MSA releases were made in collaboration with the food sector, with each disc packaged alongside Beef Jerky. The backs of the discs feature minimal personal or statistical details about the players, printed in blue on white paper. This marked the inaugural year for this set.

1988 Score Promos + Proofs Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

110 cards in the 1989 Score Promos collection included 2 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

Although the Score promotional sample cards display a copyright date of 1988 on their backs, they were actually released to hobby dealers in late 1987. You can distinguish them from the standard 1988 cards by the zeros present in the statistics for both 1987 and career totals. Other than that, the majority of the promo cards closely resemble the regular versions featuring the same players. The proof versions of Score from 1988 were produced to test various inks and finishes.

To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
