Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 18,261 Cubs cards from 252 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1090 T206 Johnny Evers Chicago on Shirt This is one of two Evers cards in the T206 set. It is also one of three actual T206 cards I own. The rest in my Cubs set are reprints.
1980s: 1989 Donruss All Star #49 Vance Law Law was an All-Star in 1988 but saw his average drop nearly 60 points in 1989. The Cubs released him over the winter.
1990s: 1990 Classic #30 Dwight Smith Here's the trivia question for a home run on the back of Smith's card: What team was the fist team to win 3 straight World Series? I'll have the answer at the end of the post
2000s: 2005 Topps Chrome #132 Kyle Farnsworth The reliever wasn't with the Cubs in 2005. He was traded to the Tigers in February, 2005.
2010s: 2013 Topps Mini #299 Darwin Barney Pink Wow! This is one of the 15/ cards that I wrote about on Thursday and the RNG picks it today. What are the odds of that??
Trivia answer - the Yankees (thought the Cubs were the first team to win two in a row)
Nice Evers to lead off the post! Wow!
