1954 Topps Hank Aaron #128

Bummer on the faded auto as it once had a chance, vertically placed in a great spot. Slight diagonal orientation but credit for knowing hank held and signed this in a way that never detracted from the card itself

The card itself has above average centering, but the auto is barely visible.

I may be a tough scorer on this one. I tend to prefer autos placed horizontally on the image but there is a charm to seeing Hank work to get his signature on an empty piece of real estate. Sadly the auto is faded but I do love ballpoint. Centering is actually pretty solid for the issue.

Autograph is very light and the card has some minor condition issues

Too much going wrong here to hit the middle C. Faded auto, that top left corner, top right too. Clockwise tilt and the edge wear half-way down the right edge. And more.

Not a bad looking 3. Bummer about the "auto".

The actual card presents well even though it is in poor shape from heavy corner wear. The super faded auto is a major drawback.

Would have loved to see this the day the auto was signed. Unfortunately time and being loved has faded it, along with the eye appeal.
