Great card. BTW, Love the idea of giving away to Cubs/Banks collector for captivating story. I've always loved Ernie even though I didn't get to watch him in his playing years (only in my 30's). I did get my one and only shot to meet him at a AAA game in Peoria IL a couple years before he passed -> BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE STAYED 3 & HALF HOURS after he was supposed to continuing to sign autographs for fans. Truly a gentleman and very passionate man. You can't help but respect a guy in his 80's that stays till the very end signing for every last person. You should have seen his face when he signed my 1955 Topps. Said "Woah haven't seen that young man in quite awhile" laughing at himself.
Ps. Not looking to get the Banks, I have a few already of the 1970 and needs to go to Cubs/Banks collector that maybe just got into vintage. But always love hearing stories about Mr Cub. Can't wait to hear some others that post on here. Hope it goes to someone who doesn't have this one.
