Ernie Banks '53 Chicago Cubs rookie year Monarch Corona Private Stock #14 / NM+

Description: Young Ernie Banks was all set to sign with the St. Louis Browns in the summer of 1953. Browns owner Bill Veeck was going to release junkball pitcher Bobo Holloman to free up the $25k in cash needed to make the Banks deal. But on what would have been his final game with the Browns, Holloman pitched a no-hitter and Veeck had to keep him awhile. The Cubs quickly stepped in and signed Ernie, and the rest is history. So if Holloman hadn't pitched his unlikely no-hitter, Ernie Banks would have been a Brown, and after the team moved, a Baltimore Oriole!
