Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 18,220 Cubs cards from 250 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1966 Topps #139 Cubs Rookie Stars Browne hit 16 homers as a rookie in 1966 but never came close to matching that again.  His career lasted through 1972 and he hit just 14 more over those next six seasons.  Young didn't stick with the Cubs until 1969 and lasted just that one season.



1980s: 1989 Upper Deck #780 Dwight Smith For the second week in a row, the RNG selects a rookie player from Upper Deck's rookie set.


1990s: 1995 Score #121 Karl Rhodes  Some day I'll have to check all of his cards to see how many have Karl and how many use Tuffy.


2000s: 2006 Allen & Ginter Mini #115 Greg Maddux  I love the look of the Ginter minis!


2010s: 2019 Stadium Club #100 Anthony Rizzo  Stadium Club gives Rizzo a nice round number.
