I've got 13,963 Cubs cards from 107 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1957 Topps #16 Walt Moryn Moose had a good year in 1957. He was second on the team in games played and RBIs and also belted 19 homers
1980s: 1987 Topps Stickers #61 Ryne Sandberg Looks like Topps caught Ryno at spring training.
1990s: 1994 Score #370 Jose Vizcaino What an odd looking position they caught him in. Is he heading to a base, ducking out of the way, taking off from first?
2000s: 2004 Heritage #138 Mark Grudzielanek This card's portrait picture seems to have captured him deep in thought. Is he thinking, "How could we have blown a 3-1 lead to the Marlins in the NLCS?"
2010s: 2013 Topps #299 Darwin Barney The RNG picked my guy! Darwin is celebrating a walk-off home run against the Padres on May 30, 2012.
The final 2016 Series One checklist was released by Topps a couple days ago. There are 350 cards in the set, numbered 1-351, with #7 being skipped because Topps is still infatuated with Mickey Mantle.
The series includes the usual subsets of future stars (24 cards), league leaders (12), and World Series Highlights (4). There are also team cards for 15 of the teams. That leaves 295 cards for the players.
Dividing 295 by 30 teams means each teams should have nine or ten regular player cards. But Topps don't roll that way. The count for the teams goes from a low of six to a high of 14.
It breaks down this way...
14 cards: Dodgers
13 cards: Astros, Mariners, Orioles, Red Sox, Yankees
12 cards: Angels, Blue Jays,
11 cards: Mets
10 cards: A's, Cubs, Giants, Nationals, Padres, Royals
9 cards: Braves, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Reds, Rockies, Twins, White Sox
8 cards: Brewers, Phillies, Pirates, Tigers
7 cards: Marlins, Rays
6 cards: Indians, Rangers
