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.

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
