Got this one in person at a card show. If you ever have a chance to meet Ernie Banks I recommend it. I got a couple signed photos. He was one of the first I got which explains the black sharpie instead of my required blue. I may update this addition.
When I was a kid I sent a fan letter to Banks asking for an autograph. I got back a price list for Cubs items and a sticker printed with his signature with the phrase 'Thanks, Ernie Banks"
Not being old enough to recognized getting hosed buy "the man" I cherished that sticker (and still have it). When I met him I asked him to sign a ball with "Thanks, Ernie Banks." He did.
