Ernie Banks Signed Cubs 17x23 Framed Cut Display + Ticket & 1970 Scorecard (PSA)
Custom framed display measures approximately 17" x
23" in size. The cut has been hand-signed in blue felt-tip pen by Ernie
Banks (D. 2015, HOF). The display also includes a vintage 1954 Chicago
Cubs ticket and a vintage 1970 Wrigley Field program.
Ernie Banks,
nicknamed "Mr. Cub" and "Mr. Sunshine", played as a shortstop and first
baseman for the Chicago Cubs between 1953 and 1971. He was inducted into
the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977, and was named to the Major
League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999.
Banks is regarded by
some as one of the greatest players of all time. He began playing
professional baseball in 1950 with the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro
leagues. He served in the U.S. military for two years, played for the
Monarchs again, and began his major league career in September 1953. The
following year, Banks was the National League Rookie of the Year
runner-up. Beginning in 1955, Banks was a National League All-Star for
11 seasons, playing in 13 of the 15 All-Star Games held during those
seasons. Banks was the Cubs' main attraction in the late 1950s, the
National League Most Valuable Player in 1958 and 1959, and the Cubs'
first Gold Glove winner in 1960.
The autograph includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
