I can see why some people don't like it, but at least with this one you can still tell that Ernie - as he normally did - was smiling. As for other cards in profile, yes - another Cub in fact was Ron Santo's 1969 Topps All Star card #420. He's pictured in the same left facing profile shot as Ernie - and is also smiling. The two cards would probably look pretty good next to one another. <br /><br />-JohnJohn Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198370985646249376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-74668922634790306942016-05-22T18:06:18.635-04:002016-05-22T18:06:18.635-04:00does anyone know of another topps card captured in...does anyone know of another topps card captured in "profile"? This card of the great Banks was very unsatisfying for a kid of ten years in his second year of collecting; like the hat-less head shots that proliferated in this expansion era, only worse!

I would imagine that Banks' overall popularity with fans and the media helped get him in when others have had to wait.Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-63677096387225978022012-02-18T18:21:43.302-05:002012-02-18T18:21:43.302-05:00I agree, Great Card, Great Player, And A Great Man...I agree, Great Card, Great Player, And A Great Man.
