Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 20,688 Cubs cards from 304 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1960 Topps #433 Irv Noren  He is the last of five players named Irv to play in the major leagues, though Irving Falu pitched from 2012-2014


1980s: 1987 Conlon #40 Charley Grimm The red C on his blue hat in a black and white picture doesn't show up very well.  It almost looks like the logo was airbrushed out.


1990s: 1991 Toys Я Us #10 Mike Harkey The junk wax era was so messed up that even Toys Я Us had a rookie set.


2000s: 2005 Upper Deck #455 Greg Maddux  Pretty easy call here for Upper Deck to include Maddux in the Bound for Glory subset.


2010s: 2019 Allen & Ginter #371 Yu Darvish  Remember the good old days when the Cubs spent lots of money to build a winning team?
