I've got 20,852 Cubs cards from 307 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1969 Kahn's Billy Williams The RNG gets us off to an awesome start! I do think the folks at Kahns could have done a better job of cropping... maybe zooming in a little.
1980s: 1989 O-Pee-Chee #338 Paul Kilgus Kilgus was a bit player in the major trade that saw Rafael Palmeiro swapped for Mitch Williams. 1990s: 1996 Topps #316 Jim Bullinger After getting off to a great start, the RNG has now given us two consecutive mediocre pitchers.
2000s: 2001 Topps Golden Anniversary #34 Corey Patterson We didn't get a mediocre pitcher, we got a mediocre hitter instead. To Topps he was hidden gold. To Cubs fans, it was more like obvious coal.2010s: 2015 Donruss #195 Ernie Banks Much better! I'd rather have a logoless Ernie Banks than a Corey Patterson with logos.
