Five Random Cubs Cards

 Welcome to a special Monday edition of Five Random Cubs Cards.  I usually run this on Sunday, but had to push this week's edition back by a day because Christmas fell on a Sunday.

I've got 20,893 Cubs cards from 308 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

1900s - 1970s: 1979 Hostess #27 Bill Buckner  The man looks ready to wobble his way to another .300 season.

1980s: 1984 Jewel Foods Steve Trout  Of the four different Jewel sets, the photography in the 1984 set is the worst of all.  Good thing this was the last Jewel set.

1990s: 1998 Bowman #213 Kerry Wood  He looks really young on this card.  Was this from 1997 spring training?  If so, then Wood was 19 years old.

2000s: 2004 Topps Chrome #424 Todd Walker Thanks to the design of the 2004 cards, I know that Todd Walker's number was #4.  This is the last time uniform numbers were on the front of a Topps card.

2010s: 2018 Donruss #228 Kris Bryant Variation  It almost looks like it says "Rizzo" behing Bryant's leg.... does that make this another Bryzzo card?
