Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 18,284 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: 1973 Hall of Fame Postcard Monte Irvin  He played his final MLB season with the Cubs, and that gets him into my collection.


1980s: 1988 Score #26 Ryne Sandberg This comes from the Score premiere set, which featured a rainbow of colored borders.  Ryno was one of five Cubs with purple



1990s: 1991 Stadium Club #247 Joe Girardi  Another premiere set, this time Topps entry into the premium card market with Stadium Club.



2000s: 2000 MVP #46 Joe Girardi  The RNG likes Joe Girardi much more than Theo Epstein, which is why Joe is managing the Phillies and not the Cubs.



2010s: 2015 Topps All Star Access #14 Anthony Rizzo Rizzo started the 2015 game as the NL's designated hitter.  He went 0-2, grounding out to first and flying out to center.
