Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 17,359 Cubs cards from 203 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.

1980s: 1989 Topps Stickers #38 Sticker back Ryne Sandberg The 1989 sticker made you collect both the fronts and the backs.
1990s: 1999 Wrigley Field Top Ten Charlie Root At least they didn't put Babe Ruth on the card. Root would not have been happy if he was told that this was a WF top ten moment. In his mind it was a non moment.
2000s: 2001 Heritage Classic Renditions #4 Sammy Sosa They put Sammy against a barely visible backdrop of an old ballpark and that makes this a Classic Rendition. Um, no. We need to see more of the ballpark and more of his uniform to get the idea that this has been set in the past.
2010s: 2019 Heritage Cloth Sticker #30 Javier Baez I had a hard time getting a decent scan of the cloth stickers. The gray border got wavy and the picture is grainy looking.
