I've got 21,804 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: 1957 Topps #55 Ernie Banks Two weeks in a row that the RNG starts us off with Ernie Banks! The 1957 set is the last one in which you'll see Cubs players wearing a hat with the wishbone C. They switched to the rounded C in 1957 and those started showing up in the '57 set's late series cards.
1980s: 1985 Circle K #18 Billy Williams And we follow up Mr. Cub with Billy Williams! The RNG is on quite a roll.
1990s: 1990 Donruss #647 Scott Sanderson Sanderson was not on the 1990 Cubs. became a free agent after the 1989 season and was signed by the A's. He had a decent 1990 season for them, going 17-11.
2000s: 2006 Upper Deck #998 Jae Kuk Ryu Its only in a set with 1250 cards that you'll find one for Jae Kuk Ryu.
2010s: 2017 Silver Packs #ARU Addison Russell I never imagined when I got this card in 2017 that Russell would be gone from the team in two years. Right now he's playing in the Mexican League.
