Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,843 Cubs cards from 317 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.



1900s - 1970s: 1965 O-Pee-Chee #264 Bob Buhl This comes from OPC's first collaboration with Topps.  They used only the first three Topps series, and that explains why we have a card of Bob Buhl but not Ernie Banks. 


1980s: 1988 Donruss #639 Damon Berryhill  The logo on his jersey and the one on the card are soo close to matching.


1990s: 1993 Panini #203 Mark Grace  A shiny Panini sticker with logos!  Each team had one player in the set that was given this glitter sticker instead of a regular one


2000s: 2002 Upper Deck #302 Eric Young Looks like Young is turning a double play. Too bad he's not facing the camera and his arm is covering his face.

2010s: 2014 Topps Power Player #146 Kyuji Fujikawa  The Power Players parallels had a code on back you could enter on-line to win prizes.  The promotion wasn't successful enough to repeat in other years.
