1900s - 1970s: 1969 Topps Stamps Bill Hands The RNG pulled a card from the same set and year two weeks in a row. I wonder what the odds of that are? Hand had the best year of his career in 1969, with the most wins (20), lowest ERA (2.19) and most Ks (181).

I've got 15,753 Cubs cards from 136 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

2000s: 2009 Bowman #131 Carlos Zambrano Zambrano was paid $18 million in 2009 and won just nine games. Paying $2 million per win is overpaying.
2010s: 2013 Topps Chrome Autographs #130 Kyuji Fujikawa Kyuji needs to practice his penmanship.
