Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 20,949 Cubs cards from 316 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, red)  Chance has three cards in the T206 set.  I have reprints of two of the three, including this one, and the real deal of the third.


1980s: 1984 Topps Stickers #44 Lee Smith It has been a good week for Lee.  On Wednesday he was included in this week's Living Set and now the RNG picks one of his cards.


1990s: 1992 Bowman #142 Danny Jackson  The Cubs traded Jackson to the Pirates in July, 1992.  How sad was that season that the Cubs were sellers and the Pirates were buyers.


2000s: 2007 Triple Threads #12 Ernie Banks This card comes from my player collection.  I don't do team sets of Triple Threads because a better name for the product is Triple Cost.


2010s: 2017 Heritage Minors League #211 Dylan Cease  It is not a good feeling to see this card.  Turns out that Theo really overpaid when he traded with the White Sox to get Jose Quintana.

  1. Yeah, but did you see Cease's recent spring training outing?
