1975 Hank Aaron -- #660 with different photo?
I found a Hank Aaron 1975 Topps #660 card with a very different photo. It shows Aaron in a proper Brewers uniform, but with no printed autograph on the front. I haven't been able to find any information about an error card. Has anyone seen one of these before? If it is a one-off error card, how would a grading company view it? Thoughts appreciated.

Fake or "custom"

Yup...looks like fan fiction to me.

That was my initial thought, but then why? It's not going to be a super high dollar value card as a "fake" one-off error card that hasn't been replicated. And there would be costs involved in producing the card. Would someone really go through all the trouble for a couple hundred bucks? I also did a google image search and it cannot find a photo that matches Hank Aaron's pose in the card...?

Looks a lot better than his real '75 card which, even for a mid-70s Topps paint job, is pretty horrific.

Yes, indeed. Amazing to me that they would have gone the airbrushing route for the "original" #660.

His move to Milwaukee didn't leave enough time for Topps to procure a Brewers image. Still, MUCH better paint jobs exist from that era, even that set.

Fantasy card, I guarantee there isn’t a single 1975 Topps card that shows a player in their new 1975 team uniform. Someone could say the 1975 Bob Locker but that’s just a 1973 photo of him in a Cubs uniform when he was going back and forth between the A’s and the Cubs.

The easiest way to create something like this would be to design and print the front and then paste it on top of an original card (to avoid having to deal with the pesky back, too). It obviously goes without saying (as I say it ), but really examine the sides to see if it's doubled up.

I didn’t know Ernie Banks and OJ Simpson were cousins.

As is usually the case with these since eBay cut back a little, this is another Etsy card.
