Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,162 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: 1949 Eureka #63 Gene Mauch Mauch played for six different teams over his nine year career.  He played more games for the Cubs (125) than for any other team.  The Cubs were really bad which is why a guy can hit .226 for them but make so many appearances.


1980s: 1988 Fleer #415 Andre Dawson  Cards with a picture taken at this angle give you a good idea as to how much of a crown there was to the playing field at Wrigley.


1990s: 1992 Pinnacle #115 Andre Dawson  Duel Dawsons!  This one has him taking a swing at Shea.


2000s: 2008 Bowman #68 Felix Pie  We were expecting Pie but ended up with a vanilla wafer.


2010s: 2013 National #4 Ernie Banks  Does Topps still give away a special set at the National?
