Welcome Cubs Fans!

This blog will discuss the 1980s and the baseball card collecting hobby, with a focus on the Chicago Cubs. Contrary to vintage baseball cards, the majority of modern cards are affordable. The various sets will be considerably simpler to obtain. So, with thousands of cards in between, we'll start with 80 Topps and end with 89 Upper Deck. The apex of this period was represented by the Sandberg Rookie of the Year in 1983.

This standard-size set consists of 45 cards featuring black and white posed and action shots of players, framed with white borders. Produced by TCMA in 1983, the set includes the player's name at the bottom, which some may find unexciting, as it appears to have been hastily assembled for quick profit. The reverse side of each card features a blue print along with a player profile and biography. Each TCMA Playball set was priced at $4 and was available for direct purchase from TCMA.

TCMA is the initials of founders Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein
