Definitely agree. For me that’s part of the allure of Henry. He definitely was apart of that transition and although he is no longer with us we can still look to his life and legacy as we continue to forge ahead in creating a more positive and loving world. Hopefully with the MLB’s increased acknowledgment of black baseball history and the Negro Leagues, more fans and people will realize this.

Nice centering and great color on that 55B Aaron. Great looking card, great story. Congrats on your first Hammerin' Hank!

Aaron is 1 of those guys you can never go wrong with. CONGRATS.

Thanks for sharing the journey! Love reading threads like this...awesome stuff. I love that Aaron...Bowmans only example. Iconic card in an iconic set.

Congrats!

Exactly! I figure it would be tough to go wrong with this one! It definitley didn't start out as even one of my favorite cards of Hank but it has slowly grown on me overtime. I really do enjoy it now though. It may seem silly but having the TV border and design is almost like a window peeking into the past, for me at least!
