I've got 19,499 Cubs cards from 285 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1952 Topps #348 Bob Kelly The 1952 season was Kelly's second in the big leagues. He was a swing man, starting 15 games and coming out of the bullpen sixteen times .
1980s: 1988 Fleer #429 Rafael Palmeiro This card comes from Palmeiro's first full season in the big leagues. He hit .307, made the All-Star team, and was traded after the season. 1990s: 1995 Team Issued Howard Johnson Known mostly for his time with the Mets and Tigers, most fans don't remember Johnson's one year with the Cubs. Johnson made the 1995 season forgettable by hitting just .195 in 86 games. It was his last season in the majors.2000s: 2007 Factory Team Set #CHC4 Jacque Jones The blue and red dots on the card match nicely with the blue jersey and red bat. 2010s: 2012 Prime 9 Home Run Legends #7 Ernie Banks What a nice way to end, with a card of Mr. Cub.
