1985 Topps Mini Test Issue Cubs

This blog started with the 1980 Topps set, and I think most of the 80s cards are now featured here. That said, there are a couple of sets I left out, like the 1987 TCMA Collectors Kits Reprints. There are quite a few of those, but I never got into collecting reprints of reprints. The junk era set talked about in this post is probably one of the most valuable from that time, so be careful when investing. Usually, if something looks too good to be true, it’s likely a fake!

Hopefully, you can utilize the checklist included in most posts to simplify tracking your collection. Thank you for stopping by, and good luck on your hunt for the fun-filled decade of the 80s.

Basic Features

Topps tasked its Canadian division, O-Pee-Chee, with producing a test mini set similar to the 1975 set. These cards were made in very limited numbers and were likely intended for destruction, but an employee salvaged them from the trash. Today, this set is recognized as one of the rarest Topps collections ever made, with fewer than 100 copies of each card currently known.

To ensure you don't purchase a counterfeit piece of history, always obtain a professionally graded card from a trusted seller. Graded cards are expected to appreciate significantly in value over time.
