I've got 19,506 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: 1970 Topps #265 Randy Hundley The 1970 season was the beginning of the end for Hundley. He got hurt in spring training and missed the first week of the season. a week later he blew out his knee and was out until mid-July. He played in just 73 games.
1980s: 1988 Fleer Team Leaders #7 Andre Dawson Dawson was clearly the Cubs team leader in 1988. He led the team in games played, runs, hits, triples, home runs, RBIs, and slugging.
Pretty star-studded lineup, give or take a relief pitcher. Always nice to see the Shea scoreboard on a vintage card! (Hey, there aren't many perks to being a Mets fan, so we gotta take what we can get.)
