Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,895 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: 1942 Play Ball #40 Stan Hack  This isn't really from a 1942 set, but from a TCMA 1985 release.  They created a set as if Play Ball did have cards in 1942, using a design similar to the 1941 cards and players from that era.

1980s: 1986 O- Pee-Chee #384 Steve Trout Some times when the RNG picks a card from OPC you have to just take my word for it that the card is an actual OPC card since many times their front was identical to Topps.  But not in 1986... you can clearly see this is from O-Pee-Chee's set.

1990s: 1991 Topps Traded #105 Bob Scanlan Scanlan made his MLB debut with the Cubs in 1991 and appeared in 40 games.  He pitched mainly out of the bullpen but also made 13 starts.  His record was 7-8 with an ERA of 3.89.

2000s: 2003 First Pitch #172 Mark Prior  Prior lived up to all the hype in 2003 as he went 18-6.  But he was never the same after that year, winning just 18 more games over the next three injury-filled seasons.

2010s: 2011 Pro Debut All-Stars #12 Hak-Ju Lee  The Cubs traded Lee in January of 2011.  He went to Tampa along with four other players including Chris Archer in a deal that brought Matt Garza to the Cubs.  He never made it to the majors but did play six seasons in Korea's top league.
