Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 17,267 Cubs cards from 203 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.




1900s - 1970s: 1978 Topps #590 Bobby Murcer  A nice card of a nice guy, but what a lousy trade, Madlock for Murcer.




1980s: 1982 Topps Traded #10 Larry Bowa  An ok card of an ok at best guy, but what a great trade, DeJesus for Bowa with Sandberg thrown in.



1990s: 1993 Score #484 Greg Maddux  Some day I'll have to count up how many cards I've got of Greg Maddux from 1993 that show him with the Cubs.  What painful reminders they are, cards of a guy that the Cubs let get away.



2000s: 2003 T205 #51 Sammy Sosa The T205 brand was a one and done. I understand why when I see cards like this one... just not a good look.



2010s: 2017 Topps #362 John Lackey  This card does a nice job of capturing the cocky look that Lackey often showed.
