Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 17,776 Cubs cards from 213 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1968 Topps #101 Glenn Beckert  He's got his game face on!



1980s: 1986 Topps #19 Richie Hebner  This is Hebner's final Topps card.  He was released by the Cubs at the end of spring training in 1986, bring his 18-year big league career to an end.


1990s: 1990 Post #19 Mark Grace  Grace does not look very interested in having his picture taken.


2000s: 2000 Topps Perennial All Stars #3 Sammy Sosa When this card came out, Sammy had been an All-Star three times in eleven seasons.  I wouldn't consider that "Perennial."  But it is a nice looking card, so can we overlook that?


2010s: 2018 Gallery #142 Willson Contreras  Contreras' portrait was done by artist Kris Penix.
