Five Random Cubs Cards

  I've got 19,413 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: 1961 Topps Stamp Billy Williams What a great way to start!  I find it interesting that Topps included  Billy Williams even though he'd yet spend a full season in the majors.


1980s: 1988 Starting LIneup Talking Baseball Frank DiPino I tried to think of something nice to say about this card.  I couldn't come up with anything.


1990s: 1992 Fleer Ultra #477 Hector Villanueva  We just have to assume that this is Hector.  We can barely see his face and no numbers are visible.


2000s: 2005 Topps Total #535 Greg Maddux The 2005 season saw Maddux's 17-year string of consecutive seasons with 15+ wins come to an end .  He won just 13 while racking up 15 losses.  


2010s: 2015 Donruss #66 Jake Arrieta  Remember when both the Cubs and Jake Arrieta were good?
