1900s - 1970s: 1977 Burger Chef Bill Buckner Burger Chef was on the ball with this, including Bill Buckner in his first year with the Cubs. I'd guess that he's wearing a Dodger hat, but since all the logos were removed, it didn't really matter.

Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 15,958 Cubs cards from 134 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1977 Burger Chef Bill Buckner Burger Chef was on the ball with this, including Bill Buckner in his first year with the Cubs. I'd guess that he's wearing a Dodger hat, but since all the logos were removed, it didn't really matter.
1980s: 1988 Starting Lineup Jody Davis Jody was included in the first set of Starting Lineup cards even though his skills were in decline. He hit just .230 in 1988 and was traded to the Braves at the tail end of the season.
1990s: 1994 Collectors Choice #241 Kevin Roberson Roberson is making some fans happy by signing autographs. Cubs management wasn't as happy with his .218 batting average.
2000s: 2009 Topps Update #99 Kevin Gregg What a flop he was as the Cubs closer in 2009. He was 4-5 with an ERA of 4.72. Ouch!
2010s: 2018 Heritage Clubhouse Collection Anthony Rizzo I like the Clubhouse Collection relics almost as much as the Ginter mini-framed.
