Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 19,446 Cubs cards from 285 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1971 Kelloggs #11 Jim Hickman  Hickman was coming off of the best season of his career, a season that was good enough to land him on the 1970 All Star team and the 1971 Kelloggs set.


1980s: 1982 Topps Traded #16 Bill Campbell Campbell got off to a slow start in 1982 after being signed as a free agent.  He turned things around in the second half, posting a 1.79 ERA over 23 games after July 16.


1990s: 1995 Fleer #419 Derrick May I like the look of the 1995 Fleer card. Hard to believe that the card is 26 years old


2000s: 2005 Heritage #128 Tom Goodwin  This would be a career capper card for Goodwin.  He became a free agent after the 2004 season but no team signed him.


2010s: 2011 Team Issued Bricks & Ivy Alfonso Soriano The Cubs went artsy with the 2011 Bricks & Ivy cards, as the only things not in black and white are the blue red things.
