Five Random Cubs Cards

  I've got 21,195 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: 1977 TCMA All Time Cubs Hack Wilson The Cubs are pretty thing in center field if Hack Wilson is the best they've got for a center fielder.


1980s: 1989 Panini #47 Doug Dascenzo This is a very boring looking sticker!


1990s: 1991 Starting Lineup George Bell Kenner was on the ball with this, getting Bell with the Cubs in 1991, his only season with the team.


2000s: 2005 Topps #262 Michael Barrett  Crazy Carlos Zambrano in the background could be wondering what sort of psycho thing Michael Barrett will do to upstage him....will he smack someone else like he did to AJ?


2010s: 2019 Topps Cactus League Legends #21 Fergie Jenkins This seemed like a lame insert set at the time it came out and my opinion hasn't changed four years later.  What does a player have to do to be a spring training legend?  Fergie is wearing a jacket under his uniform to help lose some of the pounds gained over the winter.  Is that legendary?
