That's a good lookin' 55 Aaron. I've had a few come and go and I feel the same about the one I currently own...I still get giddy on pretty much any Hank Aaron...when I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s he was my idol and to have his card was about the same as having a Ruth...unobtainable. Seeing an older brother of a buddy who had a wrinkled up 76 card with him as a Brewer seemed outrageous...that kid was a GOD. My first Hank was a 69 Topps card I got when I was 15...I will never forget that...felt like I had arrived...
Every time I see this card I just can't believe he let a photographer take his picture with his hair like this, classic hat head. I would have flat out refused!
