Man, just earlier today I posted in the 'January Pickups' thread in the post-war section a scan of my newly acquired 1964 Topps Stand-Up Ernie Banks and I remarked how Mr. Cub added class to my collection. Wow. And now he passes away?? What a terrific human being and a terrible loss to the world.

Not many stars remained as great a gentleman as Ernie did.
We've all suffered a great loss, but... They'll be playing two in heaven from now on...

RIP to the Great Mr. Cub. I recall a show years back in Waterbury CT when there was a fairly good snow storm. I made it there, Show was on, about 40 collectors came in. Ernie had arrived nite earlier on first night of show, and comes down and says " Hey, thanks for coming in this storm, We should play two" then he lead everyone in Take me out to the Ballgame and told a couple stories before signing. Never forgot that experience. Wonderful Classy man..

Very sad - fly your flags at half mast - Ernie was one of a kind.

Last time I saw him he looked great--didn't even know he'd been sick, unless he just died suddenly from an attack or the like.
Too many of my '50's Heroes are leaving us.

met him at Cubs camp in 2007. Had some cocktails in the photographers room listening to his stories and he asked me who my boss was. Told him my wife was my boss. He had me call her and he chatted with her for maybe 10 minutes about her being the boss. Loved that call and we still talk about it.
