Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 18,213 Cubs cards from 249 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1953 Bowman #112 Toby Atwell He's smiling because he has a nice rookie season in 1952, hitting .290 in 107 games. The sophomore slump slammed him as his average dropped to .239 in 1953.
1980s: 1989 Upper Deck #776 Joe Girardi A double rookie card... the first year for both Girardi and Upper Deck.
1990s: 1993 Fleer Ultra #313 Jose Guzman I had to do a double take when I looked at the card... why was the ball so close to his arm... did it slip out of his hand?
2000s: 2004 Vineline Sammy Sosa's 500th Home Run Thank you RNG for a Sosa card on the night that ESPN runs "Long Gone Summer."
2010s: 2013 Season Ticket Holders #72 Sammy Sosa This pick is an odds buster in two ways. First, this is the second Sammy card in a row. Also, the RNG has picked a card from the 2013 Season Tickets Holders set for the second week in a row. What are the odds?? About the same as Sammy making it into the Hall of Fame.
