Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 21,684 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: 1965 Topps #165 Dick Ellsworth He started the 1965 season in fine style, putting up a 10-4 record.  Things fell apart in the second half and he ended the season at 14-15.  


1980s: 1987 Baseball's All Time Greats #50 Fergie Jenkins Fergie is looking pretty fierce here.  I wouldn't be digging in; I'm ready to duck!


1990s: 1994 Donruss #458 Jose Bautista Bautista was the Cubs workhorse out of the bullpen in 1994, leading the team with his 58 appearances.  He became a free agent after the season and signed with the Giants.


2000s: 2006 Fleer Tradition #57 Juan Pierre That is one huge C on the hat in the bottom left corner!

2010s: 2016 Immaculate Jumbo Relics #WC Willson Contreras Panini was always good at making cards for catchers because hiding the team logos was pretty easy, thanks to the mask and chest protector.
