Five Random Cub Cards

 I've got 21,868 Cubs cards from 317 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1972 Topps #61 Cubs Rookies One for three here, though Hooton had his best seasons after the Cubs traded him away.


1980s: 1986 Fleer Traded #51 Guy Hoffman Hoffman is one 97 player that pitched for both the Cubs and the White Sox.  


1990s: 1993 Stadium Club #531 Sammy Sosa Looks like Sosa is celebrating a Cubs win at Wrigley, high-fiving a staff member.


2000s: 2007 Topps Chrome #280 Felix Pie  He started the season with a lot of hype, but never played up to it.

2010s: 2015 Allen and Ginter Mini #59 Hector Rondon  I miss the days when you didn't have to wait until the season was almost over to get Ginter.  Right now there is no official release date for 2024 Ginter other than a vague "September."
