1959 Topps #469, Baseball Thrills ⭐ Hustler Banks Wins MVP
This is the only known mainstream playing days baseball card that depicts Ernie Banks sliding.
If you are a vintage collector or thinking of dipping into vintage cards, I highly recommend checking out the 1959 Topps Baseball Thrills subset - fantastic cards capturing iconic moments in MLB history.

I was the high bidder for this Framed, Autographed, Jersey of Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame, 500 Home Run Club Superstar Ernie Banks

2006 Topps Heritage Stadium Seat Relic Auto ⭐ Ernie Banks #10/25 & Stan Musial #25/25
The 2006 Topps Heritage Baseball card set incorporated design features from their iconic 1957 issue.
Some of the inserts were stunning including a subset of cards that included stadium seat relic pieces from that player's stadium.
Parallels of those stadium seat cards were included as #d/25 inserts with the player's on card autograph.
I was lucky enough to pull two such autograph cards; Ernie Banks & Stan Musial pictured here.

Mr. Cub is the nickname bestowed on the beloved Ernie Banks.
He spent his entire 19-year MLB career with the Chicago Cubs winning two N.L. MVPs, 14 All-Star nods, and swatting his way into the 500 HR Club, finishing with 512 dingers.
Before his glory days with the Cubs, Ernie played in the Negro League with the KC Monarchs, then served 2 years in the U.S. Army, then returned to the KC Monarchs.
