In his third Topps issue, the 25-year-old Banks is prominently shown wearing his iconic Chicago Cubs cap, with the image of him greeting teammates at home plate in the background—probably after slugging one of his 44 home runs a year earlier. Remembered for his prowess at the plate and sunny demeanor—his catchphrase was ‘It's a beautiful day for a ballgame… Let's play two!’—this is a superlative example of one of his classic, early cards.
