I finally was able to pair these guys up....
I was able to find a signed Johnny Vander Meer rookie card to match up with the signed Ernie Lombardi card that I bought a few months back on eBay. The Vandy card was in a PSA slab, but I played "Free Willie" this evening and cracked it open so that I can enjoy it in my collection. Another PSA slab bites the dust...
These guys were battery mates in Vandy's back to back no-hitters in 1938. I get bonus points for finding a Vandy signed card that was signed on the right side of the card, which creates perfect balance for a display that I am working on. As you can see, Lombardi signed the left side of his card.
