Significance of autograph (rare):
First off, you have Willard Hunter, who lost his first and only game of the 1962 season. Next, the Mets, with their 120th loss, set the MLB record at the time.  Then add Bob Buhl, the Cubs starter, although the winning pitcher of this game would complete the 1962 season… 0-72 as in batting. Finally, icing on the cake, two HOFs Ernie Banks and Ron Santo, who would never see their Cubs win a World Series.
The signatures on this card are loaded with Mets and Cubs history.  I mean loaded.
Side note: Hunter would only have three wins in 1964, two against these Cubs … on the same day.  His career totals 4 wins.
