Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 15,881 Cubs cards from 133 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.




1900s - 1970s: 1967 Topps #70 Ron Santo  Santo was an All Star in 1967 and led the Cubs in average, homers, RBIs, and runs scored.  His RBI total of 98 was second best in the NL and he led the league in walks and runs scored.  He also won a Gold Glove (first fourth straight) and led the league in assists by a third baseman.  1967 was a pretty good year for Ron Santo!




1980s: 1989 Pacific Legends #138 Ken Holtzman I love it when the old guys wore a jacket under their uniform jersey!



1990s: 1991 Fleer Ultra #65 Derrick May This is from the first year of Fleer Ultra.  I'm sorry but I don't see anything Ultra with the design....


...unless you compare it to the 1991 Fleer base set.



2000s: 2009 Heritage Clubhouse Collection AS Alfonso Soriano  



2010s: 2016 Gypsy Queen #30 Jake Arrieta Any card from the 2016 season brings a smile to my face!
