Five Random Cubs Cards

  I've got 19,708 Cubs cards from 298 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

1900s - 1970s: 1909 T206 Frank Chance Portrait Yellow This is one of three different cards of the Cubs manager in the T206 set.  I have a reprint of this one, though I do have an actual T206 card of his batting variation card.

1980s: 1987 Topps #459 Dennis Eckersley  The HOFer never played for the Cubs in 1987. He was traded to the A's just before the season began.  

1990s: Alan Kaye's Sports Cards 1992 Tobacco #5 Rogers Hornsby  The sports card guide put out a couple of different sets within their monthly magazine.  This card comes from a tobacco card set.  The team designation on the back of the card says Cubs, though many would argue Hornsby should be listed as a Cardinal.

2000s: 2002 Topps Traded #94 Mario Encarnacion Three April games was his only action with the Cubs in 2002, but that was enough for him to land a spot in the traded set.  My how times have changed. 

2010s: 2017 Topps #277 Kris Bryant League Leaders Home Runs Speaking of how times have changed... Bryant was third in the league in home runs in 2016 but hasn't cracked the top ten ever since.
