Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 20,695 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: 1976Towne Club Rick Monday The picture that MSA used of Rick Monday was not particularly flattering.  The logoless hat makes it even less appealing. 


1980s: 1982 Donruss #14 Ivan DeJesus DeJesus has two cards in the '82 Donurss set, this one and the Diamond King card.  But he didn't even play for the 1982 Cubs.  He was traded to the Phillies for Larry Bowa and an unknown rookie named Ryne Sandberg.


1990s: 1996 Signature Series Kevin Foster This is one of my rule-following autograph cards.  Foster has a pretty nice looking signature.


2000s: 2002 Heritage #248 Kerry Wood  The extra red circle around the Cubs logo on these cards is not necessary.  Why didn't they just use the blue circle for the border?

2010s: 2011 Topps #247 Ernie Banks SP Cognac I was all-in on the parallels in 2011.
