Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 20,766 Cubs cards from 305 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1978 Big T Dave Kingman This is the only Cub player included in the Big T set.


1980s: 1983 Archives Reprints #105 John Pramesa Topps put out a reprint set of the 1953 set 30 years after the original came out.  While the cards look the same, Topps made the the modern standard size of 2½" x 3½" instead of larger original size.


1990s: 1993 Stadium Club Team Set #5 Willie Wilson  Topps put out team sets for 16 teams in addition to the regular Stadium Club set.  The team sets have a different design and picture and also have the word "team" in front of the team name.  That makes it pretty easy to distinguish between the two.


2000s: 2002 Upper Deck All-Time Classics #74 Ryne Sandberg  This card is part of a 40 player Sweet Spot set.  Classics was all retired players.  I don't have the full Cubs set, this is in the player collection.


2010s: 2015 Heroes of Baseball #6 Billy Williams  Here's another card in the player collection.  No logos for Leaf.
