I Had to Make This

Topps picked a bad year to take the retired guys out of Ginter.  I guess that if you want to include Joe Buck and Thunderlips in a set, you have to take others out.  The vets got the boot this year.  Boo!

Ernie Banks has been in Ginter three previous times.  With his passing this past January, I was looking forward to seeing him included in as many products as possible this year, including Ginter.  I figured he was a slam dunk for A&G.

Nope.

Yep.

I did a very Topps thing and reused his picture.  This was from the 2006 Ginter card.
