Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 18,989 Cubs cards from 278 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1974 Kelloggs #10 Billy Williams  This is the last of Billy's five 3-D Kelloggs Cubs cards as he was traded to the A's after the 1974 season.


1980s: 1983 Fleer #512 Gary Woods  The 1983 set has several of these posed by the dugout with a darkened background cards.  It's not a good look.


1990s: 1993 Flair #21 Dwight Smith  The 1993 season was Smith's last with the Cubs.  Despite hitting an even .300, the Cubs didn't try to resign him after he was granted free agency.


2000s: 2009 Finest #38 Carlos Zambrano Just a coincidence or did Topps do this on purpose -- Zambrano was #38 and the card is #38.


2010s: 2016 Topps Now #587 Javier Baez I was at this game!  Wrigley was rocking after this play.
