I've got 21,805 Cubs cards from 317 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1967 Topps #16 Bill Hands This card has it all! A posed shot with a good look at the shoulder logo and a jacket-wearing pitcher trying to lose a couple of pounds.
1980s: 1983 Topps Glossy Send-Ins #24 Bill Buckner Billy Buck always seemed to take nice pictures, smiling... but man was he hairy!
1990s: 1999 Topps TV #29 Dave Clark The 1990 season saw Clark used mainly as a pinch hitter. He played in 84 games but started in just 35 of those.
2000s: 2007 Topps Chrome #280 Felix Pie He came into the 2007 season with a lot of rookie hype. But it was just hype and there wasn't much to back it up as he batted just .215 and had more strikeout than hits.
2010s: 2011 Topps Diamond #655 Starlin Castro Rookie Cup This short-printed diamond version cost me a whole lot more in 2011 than what its worth today.
