Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 13,396 Cubs cards from 104 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1978 SSPC #253 Gene Clines This card comes from the 1978 SSPC All-Star Gallery Book, Cubs version. The cards were on perforated full sized sheets of card board. I've left my full sheet intact.
1980s: 1985 O-Pee-Chee #296 Ryne Sandberg This comes from the Sandberg player collection. O-Pee-Chee is one of the major brands that I haven't tried to complete. I've been relatively uninterested since it would be more like adding a parallel set rather than some cards I haven't seen yet.
1990s: 1991 Star All-Star #32 Ryne Sandberg Two in a row from the Sandberg collection. Ryno was very popular with the good folks at Star. I've got a whopping 175 Sandberg cards from Star.
2000s: 2005 Topps Chrome #202 Carlos Zambrano Topps showing Big Z batting. In 2005 he hit .300 right on the nose. Yet that wasn't good enough to win the Silver Slugger. Jason Marquis topped him with a .310 average. Zambrano would eventually win the SS three times, 2006, 2008, and 2009.
