Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 19,671 Cubs cards from 297 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1974 Fleer Baseball's Wildest Days #1 This game, from 1922, set the record for most runs in a game by two teams.  It still stands today.


1980s: 1986 Big League Chew #12 Ernie Banks Legends This card features the 11 players that reached 500 career home runs.  That number today has more than doubled to 28.


1990s: 1994 Fleer #394 Kevin Roberson


2000s: 2002 Topps Chrome #646 Cubs Team  I wish there was a decent way to scan chrome cards.  Mine always turn out really dark.


2010s: 2017 Heritage #499 Jake Arrieta The light tower in the background is in a very odd place on the picture.  It looks like he's got something connected to his fingers.

  1. I like that you had no comment for Roberson...the finger point was more than enough!
