1954 Topps Hank Aaron #128

Great copy. This is my favorite auto placement on this card, and the ballpoint pen adds real charm. The only thing keeping it from the higher A’s is the centering.

Image is fairly clean for the most part. I like the ballpoint pen and placement of the auto. Centering is off and has some tilt.

Even as a centering guy and even with som back damage, this card is all about the cleanfront and a VINTAGE PEN Hank auto that towers above most if not all sharpie later-era examples. This is the Hank sig we all hope to see on a card. A whole greater than the sum of the parts right here.

auto is very light and not clean borders are respectable edges (especially lower left is issue). Color is on the brighter side
