[sflayank]

hi al

if i remember correctly lemke said he remembers that someone showed him something that said what it was and thats how it got in the book...also i believe one of the auction houses told me that he once had a stack of the wrappers advertising the piece...so who knows...you would think it would show up somewhere....bazooka joe comic....comic book...magazine ad

Just picked up the first of the "Big 3" rookies for my 1954 Topps set...my set consists of cards PSA 7 or better and this card will likely earn a technical grade of only a 4 due to a small surface wrinkle on the back lower corner (not visible on front). But the price was right and I'm thrilled to add it to my collection! While I could always upgrade in the future, I'm not so sure I NEED to...you raw card collectors may be on to something!!! Big thanks to Leerob538 on this one...

Ernie would have to be one of the all-time greats for his great contribution to Cards history in bringing Lou Brock to St. Lou.

No, that honor belongs to John Holland.

I had been waiting and searching for a LONG time for a nice copy of this card. This card fit the bill perfectly. Let's just say I was not going to lose this eBay auction...

Ernie actually ranks 29th all time in career wins by a Cardinal starting pitcher with 70.......

I'm currently collecting the top 15 position players and the top 50 starting pitchers for the Cardinals since 1900.....

I really hope you get bored with this card and resell at it on eBay, would love a shot at it. But I don't think that will happen Great "5"

Thanks, Patrick. Heck, if I can remember this thread I will offer it to you privately before putting it up on eBay, although that could be a few years from now.

But, as Cliff pointed out, those 70 wins impressed the stuff out of John Holland.

Always wondered what the Cubs would have done 1967-72 if that trade had not happened.

...still behind the Cardinals as usual and as it should be

The Cubbies did however kind of turn the tables with the Altman for Larry Jackson trade.

But with Santo, Banks, Williams, Jenkins to go with Hundley, Beckert, Kessinger, Hands, Holtzman, Pappas, Monday, Abernathy, you would think they blunder into something in that time frame.
