I've got 19,237 Cubs cards from 284 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1976 SSPC #309 Bill Madlock Something seems wrong with his hat. The C looks kinda messed up and the bill is bent oddly. It doesn't look like a real hat but more like the cheapy you'd buy at Sears.1980s: 1983 Big League Collectibles Bill Nicholson I give them credit for trying to colorize the picture. But it looks like a kid grabbed some markers and drew over the top of a black and white photo.
1990s: 1996 Score #336 Sammy Sosa Sammy kicked up a cloud of dust with his slide. You don't see that any more with the modern clay-type material they use on today's infields.
2000s: 2008 Upper Deck #77 Aramis Ramirez This would have been a decent picture for Upper Deck to use two years ahead of this one, when they lost their MLB license for the 2010 season.
2010s: 2019 Bowman's Best #46 Anthony Rizzo The stain on Rizzo's right leg is almost a perfect match for the one on Ramierz in the card above. The RNG had a thing for dirt this week.
