Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 18,281 Cubs cards from 252 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1976 Crane Rick Monday The RNG brings back one of the many discs is was showing a couple of months ago, in case you were missing them,



1980s: 1988 Starting Lineup Talking Baseball Andre Dawson I never understood why Starting Lineup didn't get an MLB license for the Talking Baseball set, since they had one for the regular Starting Lineup figures.


1990s: 1991 Upper Deck Traded #3F Lance Dickson This card was given to the best left handed pitcher in the minor leagues.  Dickson never lived up to that hype and was out of baseball after the 1994 season.


2000s: 2002 Bowman Heritage #234 Fred McGriff I like his autograph - readable and he signed it "Fredrick."  Very classy!


2010s: 2013 Team Issued #45 Ryne Sandberg  Ryno was given card #45 in the set as the 45th game of the season was played on July 10.  It was on July 10, 1990 that he was one of three Cubs playing in the All Star game, held at Wrigley Field.
