Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 20,704 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: 1976 O-Pee-Chee #617 Darold Knowles Knowles is looking like a mean dude here, tall and looming.


1980s: 1989 Donruss All Star #56 Greg Maddux This set features the players in the 1988 All Star game.  Maddux was one of five Cubs on the team.



1990s: 1994 Stadium Club #421 Jose Bautista  He made 58 appearances for the 1994 Cubs, all out of the bullpen.  His record was 4-5 with an ERA of 3.89.


2000s: 2005 Merrick Mint Coins Jeromy Burnitz  All I can think of when I see #3 is Babe Ruth.  Jeromy Burnitz was no Babe Ruth.


2010s: 2015 Strata Clearly Authentic #JHL Jason Hammel This is in the collection as my Hammel relic card.  It is his only relic card with the Cubs, as far as I can tell.
