Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 19,544 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 #277 Billy Herman This is the second week in a row that the RNG starts us off with a Billy in the Hall of Fame. Last week it was Williams, this week it's Herman.  The cards I have of this set are reprints.  I'll get the originals after I win the lottery.


1980s: 1987 Fleer #574 Lee Smith Another Hall of Famer!  


1990s: 1995 Select #221 Mark Grace  This is getting freaky!  Last week the RNG pulled two HOFers and then a card of Mark Grace.  This weeks it has done the exact same thing!  What are the odds of that??  Select became very select is 1005 as Grace was one of just three Cubs in the set.


2000s: 2007 USA Baseball Autograph Jersey Green #8 Darwin Barney  I've got the entire rainbow of these  - the green, black, blue, and red.


2010s: 2017 Gypsy Queen #118 Wade Davis  Davis came to the Cubs in a trade with the Royals after the 2016 season.  The Cubs gave up this year's World Series MVP Jorge Soler.
