Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 19,019 Cubs cards from 282 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

Check out the total number of Cubs cards --- I passed the 19,000 mark!


1900s - 1970s: 1960 Topps #349 Moe Drabowsky  I'm about 99% sure that Moe had his picture taken at Seals Stadium in San Francisco.  Why didn't they change the name of the ballpark when the Seals moved out and the Giants moved in?


1980s: 1983 Team Issued Steve Trout This card would be the first of any that shows Trout with the Cubs.  It came out months ahead of the Topps Traded set.


1990s: 1995 Flair #332 Mark Grace  Grace sure has a serious look on his face.


2000s: 2005 Fleer #180 Carlos Zambrano Big Z looks fairly friendly here. This was a few years before he went all psycho.


2010s: 2010 Bowman #82 Aramis Ramirez Ramirez saw his batting average plummet 76 points from this 2009 average, down to .241.  It was by far his lowest as a Cub.
