1900s - 1970s: 1965 Topps #149 Wayne Schurr As a rookie in 1964 Schurr made 26 appearances out of the bullpen. That was good enough to earn a spot in the 1965 Topps set. It wasn't good enough to earn a spot on the 1965 Cubs. He spent the next two seasons in AAA and never made it back to the majors.

Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 14,376 Cubs cards from 108 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1965 Topps #149 Wayne Schurr As a rookie in 1964 Schurr made 26 appearances out of the bullpen. That was good enough to earn a spot in the 1965 Topps set. It wasn't good enough to earn a spot on the 1965 Cubs. He spent the next two seasons in AAA and never made it back to the majors.
1980s: 1988 Team Issued Andre Dawson The Cubs gave out these cards on August 24, 1988. The Cubs beat the Astros 3-2 on a walk off single by Vance Law. Greg Maddux out-dueled Nolan Ryan. Dawson was one for four.
1990s: 1995 Bowman #12 Jason Ryan He was a 9th round pick of the Cubs in the 1994 draft. He had a very good 1995 season in A ball, posting a record of 11-5. He would never do better than that and the Cubs traded him during the 1999 season.
2000s: 2001 Topps Chrome #607 Luis Montanez This card comes from the days when the Chrome set was made up of the entire flagship set.
2010s: 2012 Gypsy Queen mini #257 Ryne Sandberg Ryno on the run.
