I've got 20,999 Cubs cards from 316 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1961 Topps #441 Dick Bertell There aren't too many other cards out there that give you a look at a ballplayer's armpits!
1980s: 1989 Woolworth Baseball Highlights #11 Andre Dawson Dawson's 1988 highlight - he set a major league record with his 12th consecutive season of double-digit home runs and stolen bases.
1990s: 1990 Upper Deck #584 Les Lancaster The 1990 season for Lancaster was great, then really lousy. His ERA after his first 13 games was 1.85. He ended the season at 4.62 in 42 games.2000s: 2004 Cracker Jack #187 Ryan Harvey He never made it higher than AA, but Ryan Harvey was included in the Cracker Jack set, so he has that to brag about.
