1957 Topps Hank Aaron #20

If not for a few surface issues by Hank’s hat this would be god tier.

Beautiful print, color and saturation on this 57 Hank. Embodies that quintessential vintage “pop”. Borders and edges are clean and white with pretty sharp corners. Surface scratch near Hank’s hat and a lil’ bit of tilt are the only “flaws” worth mentioning. I imagine a very happy collector holds this one!

Blast white borders & focused image

The great centering and bright white borders really stand out. I see the faint surface damage towards the top of the card, but it really doesn't bother me much.

It will be interesting to see how the one noticeable flaw on this card (some scratches in top center) land for each collector. Were they to the left or right of Hank, I would be in the A+ or GT bands for this card. The scratches don't matter too much to me as the overall impression remains so strong. The image clarity and centering keep on pleasing my eye. Knowing how I display my cards, I have a feeling there would never be an impluse to replace this copy.

from afar the card looks really good but as you get closer you notices multiple vertical streaky lines covering a good area of the top and the main image holding the card back. add to it the off centering of the card and while you can enjoy it you cannot get true pleasure

Strong bright image. Some streaking on the top of the card.
