I've got 19,558 Cubs cards from 285 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1933 Goudey #67 Guy Bush The is the second week in a row that the RNG starts us off with a card from the 1933 Goudey set.
1980s: 1989 Donruss Rookies #36 Phil Stephenson The Cubs had Rafael Palmeiro and then Mark Grace to play first base. Stephenson got locked out. He was traded to the Padres in August, 1989. His career average over four MLB seasons was .201. 1990s: 1992 Star #8 Ryne Sandberg This is card #8 of 11 in the Sandberg set. The picture is not very exciting looking.2000s: 2005 Heritage #300 Sammy Sosa This is the SP version of Sammy's card. The regular card has a different picture in the background 2010s: 2019 Finest Blue Chip Ian Happ While he's not a cow chip, Happ hasn't been what I'd consider a blue chip either.
Guy Bush ahhh the unknown man who's the answer to a remarkable question of who did Babe Ruth hit his final 3 career home runs against but Bush did while wearing a Pirates uniform not the beloved Cubs shown.
ReplyDeleteI did not know until now that there were variations to 2005 Heritage and just looked up the Dodgers ... phew! No variations.
