Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,886 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: 1962 Topps #477 Andre Rodgers  My guess as to where this picture was taken is Candlestick Park.  Only two 1961 ballparks had tall light standards like those shown, Milwaukee and Candlestick.  Several Giant player cards are shown in their home uniforms, so there were pictures that in SF.


1980s: 1987 Baseball's All Time Greats #50 Fergie Jenkins I think that the scowl on his face put some fear into alot of National League hitters.


1990s: 1994 Studio #61 Derrick May I think that it is impressive that they not only had to take pictures of the players, but had to set up his locker too.


2000s: 2004 Bowman Heritage #341 Matt Creighton The Creighton show never made it to prime time.  He peaked with 31 games in AAA.

2010s: 2018 Heritage Clubhouse Collection #JB Javier Baez I always prefer to get relic cards with the home pinstripe showing.  This one looks good with the stripe in the middle of the piece.
