1954 Aaron RC

1. Look at the 'small action pose' players hand in the bottom left corner. They should be clear enough to see..fakes will be very dark and cannot see the fingers. The face is also the same.
2. Notice the lighter areas are too light (orange, skin of color portrait), when compared to the darker areas which are too dark (shadows under hat, hair)

If the card has been graded authentic, its just that, "Authentic". Its graded that way, because there has been some sort of alteration done to the card, to warrant such, as was mentioned in a previous post. Its not necessarily trimmed, but something has been done to the card to warrant that grade.

Thanks for all the replies and help. I went back last night and checked the card
and the fingeres on the hand were very clear. I checked it as close as I could with another 54 card from my collection and it measured the same from left to right but was a very small amount short from top to bottom. Bottom line is I came home with the card. My thought was that it I'd never find another for the price that fits as nice with my set. I'll break it out of the holder and add it to
my set. I now have completed the 48 Bowman, 52 Topps, 54 Topps and 56 through 62 Topps sets along with a complete run 52 to 55 of Red Man. Since I have a 55 Koufax I'll probably start on that set next.

Thanks again--Keith

Congrats on completing your set. The 54 set has always been one of my favorites.

I've found that if there are other alterations (other than trimming), there will be a notation of "altered" on the flip. But maybe that's only a recent change w/ PSA graded cards.

At any rate, congrats on finishing the set!! Very cool!!

Congrats on finishing a very cool set!

Any chance you can still post a scan? Would love to see the card...my 54 Aaron may be my most favorite card and I love to see others...

Here's a photo (I hope) of the 54 Aaron that I purchased this week.

I hope it shows because I've never posted a photo before.
I didn't know whether to attach it or try to copy and paste.
