Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 20,942 Cubs cards from 316 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1909 T206 Orval Overall (Hands T Waist)  I showed two of my T206 cards in a post last week.  Those were actual cards.  I have just three real T206s.  All the rest of mine, including this one, are reprints.


1980s: 1988 Panini #253 Cubs Logo This sticker is from Panini's first baseball sticker set.  Back then Panini was known as the company from Italy with crummy stickers.  At least back then they had an MLB license so they could show logos.


1990s: 1990 Starting Lineup Rick Sutcliffe This is not a very good looking card, with that ugly-colored background and a plain-looking card design.


2000s: 2002 Team Issued Vine Line Postcards George Brace Ernie Banks  That has to be the longest title of a card that I've ever had doing the random Cubs!  Mr. Cub looks really young. The card comes from a set that was given to anyone that renewed their Vine Line subscription for one year.


2010s: 2014 Topps Upper Class #39 Greg Maddux I always appreciate it when Maddux is shown as a Cub in a Topps insert set.
