I've got 21,632 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: 1974 Kelloggs #7 Ron Santo This is technically a White Sox card because the Sox' team logo is on the back. There is a version with the Cubs logo on the back and I've been looking for one of those for a while.
1980s: 1987 Fleer #557 Jody Davis Jody doesn't seem very happy about having his picture taken.
1990s: 1990 Topps TV #51 Cedric Landrum The Cubs gave Landrum a shot in 1991, as he played in 56 games. But a batting average of just .233, no homers, and just six RBIs meant it was back to AAA in 1992.
2000s: 2004 Upper Deck #309 Aramis Ramirez It looks like he is celebrating one of the 120 homers he hit in a Cub uniform at Wrigley Field.
2010s: 2015 Topps Traded Sparkle #395 Dexter Fowler Remember when Topps had all these gimmicky variation cards? I don't miss those days at all!
