Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 16,491 Cubs cards from 177 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

1980s: 1981 Fleer #301 Lenny Randle Fleer shows Lenny with the Cubs but he was just with them for the 1980 season. Granted free agency, he hooked up with the Mariners for the 1981 season.
1990s: 1992 Topps Traded Gold #102 Gary Scott That is the look of a man that hit .160 over two seasons with the Cubs.
2000s: 2004 Bazooka #288 Matt Creighton Creighton never made it to the majors. He spent 2004 in AA and AAA, then 2005 in AA and A. He was released after 2005 and played a couple more seasons in independent ball.
2010s: 2017 Topps Salute #80 Kris Bryant It never dawned on me until now that the card shows Bryant playing in the outfield. I'll have to check and see if there are other cards that show him playing a position other than third base.
