Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 18,378 Cubs cards from 256 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1955 Topps #196 Gale Wade Your are looking at the only Galeard to ever play major league baseball.  


1980s: 1989 Topps #186 Pat Perry
  The reliever made 19 appearances with the Cubs through mid June and posted an ERA of just 1.77.  Then he got hurt and spent the rest of the season on the DL or in Iowa.  The Cubs non-tendered him over the winter,





1990s: 1997 Topps Chrome #102 Sammy Sosa  Sammy is chugging and the helmet is flying.  He knew how to look like a ballplayer.


2000s: 2000 Pacific #85 Jon Lieber  The picture captures Lieber in an odd-looking position.


2010s: 2017 Gallery #50 Kris Bryant  The large white border on the bottom seems like it is missing something.  A team name, player position, or logo needs to be added.
