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.

1983 Galasso 1933 Goudey Reprint

Number of Cards

240 cards in the 1983 Galasso 1933 Goudey Reprint which there are 17 Cubs.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are 2 3/8 x 2 7/8 same dimensions as the original 1933 Goudey

Basic Features

Renata Galasso, a former baseball card dealer based in New York, launched her business in the early 1970s. The cards from the 1933 Goudey set are distinctly labeled as reprints. These reprints are not classified as unlicensed cards; rather, they were produced by Renata Galasso Inc to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Goudey set. The collection features 240 vibrant, full-color cards that are visually appealing. While I'm not particularly fond of reprints, they offer a more affordable option for collecting a historically significant set.
