Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 19,757 Cubs cards from 301 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1972 O-Pee-Chee #439 Billy Williams  You'll just have to trust me that this off-centered card is O-Pee-Chee and not Topps. I picked this up for the PSA master set Billy Williams collection.   



1980s: 1985 Team Issued Scott Sanderson It was a very bad day for Scott Sanderson and the Cubs on the day that this cards was given out at Wrigley Field.  Baseball Card Day, August 14, was the same day that Sanderson was placed on the 60 day DL, due to a partially torn MCL.  He became the fifth starter to be placed on the DL, joining Sutcliffe, Trout, Eckersley and Ruthven.  Yes, the entire rotation was now on the DL.  Like I said, it was a very bad day.


1990s: 1993 Duracell #3 Andre Dawson They picked a pretty good picture to use for a set that doesn't have an MLB license.  The only thing we lost was the C on his helmet.


2000s: 2002 Upper Deck Piece of History #58 Ernie Banks  This card looks more like the back of a card than the front.  You don't usually see that much writing on the front of a card.


2010s: 2010 Opening Day #2 Derrek Lee The 2010 Opening Day was Lee's last as a Cub.  He was traded to the Braves in mid-August.
