I've got 19,140 Cubs cards from 284 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1973 Jewel Foods Ron Santo The Jewel sets are among my all-time favorite, with the large and colorful pictures.1980s: 1984 Topps Traded #77 Gary Matthews Getting Matthews and Dernier from the Phillies at the end of spring training was quite a deal for the 1984 Cubs. Sarge quickly became one of the leaders of the '84 Cubs and a fan favorite.1990s: 1990 Star Nova #142 Ryne Sandberg The card looks just as dark in hand as it does in the scan. Yuk! 2000s: 2002 Topps Total Award Winner #21 Sammy Sosa An interesting coincidence that the card number matches Sammy's uniform number. The card notes his Silver Slugger Award in 2001 2010s: 2019 Opening Day #20 Jon Lester An Opening Day card for the Cubs Opening Day starter in 2019. Lester went six innings and got the win as the Cubs hammered the Rangers 12-4.
