1936 R312 Ernie Lombardi ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I didn't know much about Ernie Lombardi until I saw this card.
After learning that Ernie Lombardi was one of the greatest hitting catchers in baseball history, I knew this card was coming to it's forever home.
Ernie was an imposing physical presence known for his massive hands, historically slow foot speed, and unmatched bat control.
He won two batting titles—a feat unmatched by any other catcher until Joe Mauer—and he caught both of Johnny Vander Meer's historic back-to-back no-hitters in 1938.
PSA has graded only 24 examples of this card. Only three are in PSA 6 holders and only one is graded higher than this one.
