I pulled this one out of a pack in 1965. Even though I was a Cub fan living in Chicago I wasn't a big fan of Ernie. I always wanted to open a pack and find Mays, Mantle or Koufax, so this card didn't mean that much to me back then.
When we moved to Phoenix four years later my mom threw away all my cards, and since I had "grown up" I didn't care. This card was spared because it had been stuck in a book, where my brother found it twenty years later. He sent it to me, and I have kept it as a reminder of my childhood ever since.
