Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 15,001 Cubs cards (the State Police set pushed me over the 15,000 mark!) from 122 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s:1962 Topps #552 Billy Williams The RNG starts me off on a very good note today, with a card of my favorite. The 1961 NL Rookie of the Year gets a nice big trophy from Topps.
1980s: 1984 Donruss #483 Keith Moreland Never noticed this before, but the yellow for the team name really gets washed out against a light background. You can barely make out the word "Cubs" on the card.
1990s: 1994 Topps #399 Frank Castillo This is Castillo's brush with greatness. His card in #399, so close to a superstar (Ken Griffey, Jr.) and a hundred number card.
2000s: 2003 Fleer Fall Classic #16 Billy Williams This is the second week in a row that the RNG has snagged the same player twice. Last week we got two Shawon Dunston cards. It has happened several times, but I don't think I've ever gotten the same player three times. The set for this card is called "Fall Classic" but sadly, Billy never played in one.
2010s: 2016 Allen & Ginter #68 Dexter Fowler This has to be one of only a few cards that doesn't show Dexter with a big grin.

Wasn't it just 2 or 3 weeks ago that I asked if this (same player selected twice) ever happened? :D
