I've got 18,606 Cubs cards from 259 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
This is definitely true for Buckner in 1979.
1990s: 1996 Pacific #28 Frank Castillo The Pacific logo should have been put in the other corner. It looks like he's throwing a crown, not a baseball.
2000s: 2001 King B League Legends #7 Ernie Banks Logoless Ernie would look much better with something on his hat,
2010s: 2016 Heritage Award Winners #6 Kris Bryant ROY Seems like a long time ago since Bryant was winning awards.
1980s: 1985 Donruss #564 Richie Hebner The 1985 season was Hebner's last. He hit just .217 after hitting .333 the previous season. Time finally caught up with him.
like maybe, that King B logo in a ball.
70's Hostess rule. The Banks is cool too. For some reason, I've learned to accept logoless oddball issues from the 70's, 80's, and 90's... but haven't for modern day Panini.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the '79 Topps Buckner better, the Hostess shot seems to have captured him in mid-sentence.
