1958 topps Aaron

Ben, are you saying you "bleached" this card from the darkest green raw version to the blue version in the slab? How? And how did it not affect the other colors on the card?

Yes I changed the colors on the one pictured in the SGC slab. The other pictures are of that card during the process. No I will not tell you how it is done.

On 58 Topps just having them in a lighted display case will cause them to lose the yellow after a couple years.

I collect errors and have been burned by people altering cards. So I learned how to do it so I know what to look for in a real and altered error cards.

Most, if not all, of the blue Aaron's I have seen still have some noticeable yellow left in the logo circle

If there really were blue 58 Aaron cards, Al would have had one years ago!

Come to think of it, there was a blue Bob Buhl a few years back, I think. or another highly touted Blue variety of a green 58.

ALL the 58 Topps cards with missing or light yellow are altered. They are very cool to look at and I have seen the "blue" Aaron in slabs from each of the big 3 grading companies.

Here is a cool Spahn. Sorry for the bad picture, this card looks amazing in hand.

Here is a link to one of the previous discussions on them. http://net54baseball.com/showthread....lue+hank+aaron
