Eighties Alphabetically - Baseball Legends

 The Baseball Legends set was put out by Pacific over three years, from 1988 through 1990.  I'm only showing the first two since this is Eighties Alphabetically.  The set consists of cards of former players and broadcasters

The card design is identical for the 1988 and 1989 cards.  The color of the area around the name and picture varied from team to team.  The Cubs cards have that part red, except for the card for broadcaster Jack Brickhouse.  His is green and the only other cards with green are for players on the A's.  I have no idea why they make the Brickhouse card green.

Each year had 110 cards in the set.  None of the players in the first set were included in the second.  There is no team designation on the cards, so I went with cards that show a player in a Cubs uniform. Each year saw seven Cubs.


These are the cards from 1988.  The artwork on the Chuck Connors cards is the same as on the Baseball Magazine card we saw last Saturday.

  1. I long for a modern day set with a checklist like this. The last one to my recollection was the Panini Cooperstown series about a decade ago.
