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 O-Pee-Chee #354 Whitey Lockman Lockman managed the first 93 games for the Cubs, and they won just 41. He went back to his previous role of director of player development and Jim Marshall took over the team.
1980s: 1988 Fleer #430 Wade Rowdon Rowdon played in just 11 games for the Cubs in 1987, so the Fleer photographer was on the ball to get a picture of him at Wrigley.
1990s: 1991 Panini #48 Mark Grace This is a Panini sticker from the days when they had an MLB license.
2000s: 2000 Dominion #154 Mickey Morandini Morandini didn't play for the Cubs in 2000. He was granted free agency after the 1999 season and signed with the Expos in January, 2000. However he never played a game with Montreal, as they sold him to the Phillies at the end of spring training.
2010s: 2012 Topps #435 Jeff Baker Gold I wonder if the guy sold that sign on eBay?
I miss Topps parallels like that gold one
