2019 Topps 1984 Cubs

Inserts using designs from past years seems to have become a staple.  But isn't that why we have Heritage?

2019 Topps is using the 1984 design.   In 1984 I would just get the complete set and then put the box in a closet.  The set doesn't give me any warm fuzzy feelings.

The insert set has 100 cards on the checklist and three of those are Cubs.




And how did Topps do with these compared to the real things?

 

 

 
Here are the differences that I see between the 1984s and the 2019 remakes:
  • The shade of purple on the 2019 version sees to be a little redder
  • the yellow in the box is off
  • the names are too close to the box
  • The outline of the Topps logo comes to a point at the bottom of the T instead of being rounded

  1. I also notice the color differences and how the names are too close to the picture box. Overall though, not too bad.
    I feel like these were in Topps Archives not too long ago as well?

  2. I wish they would go back to the card board stock like they had on the 1987 throwbacks in 2016. Having the glossy backs just ruin the look and feel of the cards.
