Ernie Banks Spring Training Party Coke "card"
Hi-
I recently acquired the Ernie Banks card type item scanned below and I have a few questions regarding it. The back is blank and it is a little larger than an Exhibit card. Is this a modern fantasy card? I could not find any other examples online (although my search skills are limited). If it is original, when was it issued? Are there any others in the series? Any other information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Alan |

The 11th of February was on a Thursday in 1960. Seems like that would give you a specific date.

Am I the only one who read that title and thought there's no way they would put that on a baseball card?

Thank you guys! Jesse, I see what you mean. That would have been an interesting party to attend. Mike and Larry, thank you for your help with the date, and Larry, thank you also for the history on the slogan (that is good to know for other collectibles as well). I am guessing this is some sort of advertising card for the party in 71. I wonder if it was mailed to potential invitees.
