For the longest time, the 1973 card always bugged me due to this monster of a player being shown merely standing there in the blinding sun under an easy pop fly, but as time went on
(and when looked at along with other cards from the '73 set, like Rose, Stargell, Puente, Bench, Scott, and on and on) I've gotten a much fuller appreciation for it.

It's another photo that brings the viewer right into a game, reflecting a standard occurrence on the field. Since there were already plenty of Aaron portrait cards put out across his career, this one took a new direction.
Plus, he's oddly playing first base (with a first baseman's glove), which was strange in and of itself.

Now I say one and a half thumbs up!!

The 1973 has that classic Braves uniform. Plus, I enjoy the fact that Aaron played the field most of his career with great fielding % as well. Aaron was a five tool player.
