Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 16,491 Cubs cards from 183 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.




1900s - 1970s: 1979 Topps #494 Jerry White   I had one of those satin Starter jackets back in the day!




1980s: 1983 Topps #73 Allen Ripley  The jacket he's wearing isn't nearly as cool as the Starter jacket that Jerry White was wearing.  Also, Topps had two chances to get a nice looking pictures of Ripley.  They were 0 for 2.



1990s: 1993 Pinnacle #208 Frank Castillo   This is an awfully basic looking base card.



2000s: 2001 Topps #657 Jason Bere  The RNG has pulled up some pretty unspectacular Cubs so far.  Bere was 10-10 for the Cubs in 2001 before declining massively the next season.  His 2002 record was 1-10.



2010s: 2013 Team Issued Season Ticket Holder #15 Darwin Barney  Finally!  A spectacular Cub!!
