Five Random Cubs Cards

   I've got 19,748 Cubs cards from 300 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1972 Topps #612 Joe Decker Decker spent most of 1972 at AAA Wichita, making just five appearances for the Cubs.


1980s: 1988 Score #244 Jim Sundberg  The RNG picked a card from the first Score set.  The borders were made up of several colors.  This red card and the blue ones were the only colors that looked decent on Cubs cards.


1990s: 1992 Conlon #344 Jimmy Lavender I don't have an autograph of this Cubs no-hit pitcher.  He tossed his a bit before my time!


2000s: 2005 Donruss #132 Derrek Lee This card is from the last set put out by the original Donruss, the one that had an MLB license.


2010s: 2018 1983 Topps #54 Anthony Rizzo Ah, the good old days, when the Cubs had several players in all of the insert sets!
