I've got 19,738 Cubs cards from 300 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1973 Jewel Ron Santo A picture of the team captain from his final year with the Cubs.
1980s: 1982 Donruss #504 Doug Bird The nickname for Bird listed on baseballreferenc.com is "the Fidrych" . I had a different one for him in 1982 - "Flip the," because that's what the fans wanted to do to Bird and his 9-14 record. 1990s: 1994 Panini #158 Sammy Sosa Poor Sammy, no longer on the HOF ballot.2000s: 2006 Bowman Heritage #96 Mark Prior This is the second time in three weeks that the RNG has picked a Prior card from 2006. Why do we have to keep being reminded of his horrible 2006 season? It was his last as he was 1-8 with an ERA of 7.21. 2010s: 2016 Topps Rookies #19 Kyle Schwarber This is the Target version of the card. There is also a Walmart version, which shows him at Wrigley Field.
