Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,230 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: 1976 O-Pee-Chee #79 Jerry Morales  A classic card here - posed in the on deck circle position, home uniform, blue on card matching Cubs blue... just a great 1970s card.


1980s: 1986 Unocal Ron Cey  Its appropriate for Cey to be in a Unocal set because when I think of Unocal 



I think of the Dodgers and to most people, Ron Cey is a Dodger.


1990s: 1998 Fleer Ultra #388 Jeff Blauser Fleer really made sure that you could read the players name on this set.


2000s: 2005 Flair #7 Nomar Garciaparra  I'm not sure that that fuzzy background thing is, but it sure is distracting.

2010s: 2012 Topps #657 Dave Sappelt Gold Sappelt was one of the many forgettable Cubs during the Theo-era rebuild.  I'm pretty sure the picture is photoshopped because the Cubs logo on his pants seems too big.
