Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 18,020 Cubs cards from 222 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1958 Topps #430 Bobby Thompson That is one gigantic C that Topps stuck on his hat!
1980s: 1980 Topps #523 Ken Henderson The 1980 season was the last of Henderson's 16-year career. He went out with a whimper, hitting just .195 in 44 games. The Cubs released him on July 20.
1990s: 1998 Bowman #191 Todd Noel I forgot all about Todd. I need to include him in my annual December 25 post with Steve Christmas.
2000s: 2002 Studio #9 Sammy Sosa Studio usually uses posed shots from team picture day. Here they have a candid of Sammy in the dugout. Did he skip photo day that year?
2010s: 2017 Diamond Kings #10 Ernie Banks Variation This isn't too bad for a logoless card. The only thing that's missing is the C on his hat.

Yeah, I really like that Diamond King card... the background is one of the best I've seen.
