SDSportsFan · February 20, 2005 9:11AM

What, no '60?

He must be a slacker

Now pardon me while I pick my jaw up of the floor

mealeworm · February 20, 2005 9:34AM

Wow those are some great cards!!! Makes my 6's and 7's not look so good.

ajw · February 20, 2005 9:15PM

Wow. You're right about the 62. It's amazing. Maybe it's the gloss, but it's so colorful and sharp.

CoachTom · February 20, 2005 10:54PM

WOW! I just couldn't imagine.................

Aaronman · February 24, 2005 5:53AM

Here's the 60 Aaron, if you're interested.

Doug

MajorDanby · February 24, 2005 6:02AM

SDSportsFan: I've been looking ALL OVER for that card. I saw two on ebay the last 8 months. One was raw and creased and the other was on an uncut sheet.

Here's another early aaron "card"...a postcard, actually. Got it two months ago. Sorry for the bad scan.

Spic and Span

Aaronman · February 24, 2005 6:05AM

Perhaps this one will work

sjeanblanc · February 24, 2005 7:40AM

Aaronman,

I'm drowning in my drool!!! That is one heck of a nice selection of cards of the Hammer!!

mikeschmidt · February 24, 2005 7:52AM

Why didn't anyone include the scan of the 1955 Bowman PSA 9. It is a population three, and VERY VERY tough to find. In fact - all three PSA 9s are spoken for right now

bobsbbcards · February 24, 2005 8:15AM

Cool scans guys! Incredible run of Aaron 9s. I'd also like to see the '55 Bowman. Here's a few more offgrade/raw Aaron's for people's enjoyment (and to further frustrate the guys with dial-up):

MajorDanby · February 24, 2005 8:27AM

Great topps plaks card. Wouldnt mind having that myself. Is that a tough card to find?

Here are other off brand cards, ungraded

Buccaneer · February 24, 2005 8:39AM

Unbelievable looking cards. I agree that the 62 is awesome.

mikeschmidt · February 24, 2005 9:07AM

Here's one. This is not Doug's, nor is it Davalillo's...

SDSportsFan · February 24, 2005 9:29AM

Hey Marc,

How can that '55 Bowman possibly be a 9?

With all the apparent marks around the edges (especially the bottom), it looks more like a 5 at best!

Steve

Amazing. If I sent that card in, it would be no higher than a 6. Look at the bottom left corner and the top right corner. Look at the bottom edge. 9?????

Buccaneer · February 24, 2005 9:58AM

Awww, now the satirist, DaBigHurt, has to come up something else tonight.

detroitfan2 · February 24, 2005 10:32AM

Perhaps the most impressive baseball statistic of all time (at least to me):

If you take away all of Aaron's home runs, the man still has over 3000 hits.

jackstraw · February 24, 2005 12:03PM

steve
i bet thats david halls aaron?
bob
you are the best! how about a 72 cloth aaron?
doug and majordanby
more scans please. i love this stuff!

mikeschmidt · February 24, 2005 2:15PM

David Hall did not have a PSA 9 Aaron card, he only ever had an 8. The scan you saw was a card graded in 2001.

Edge chipping is fairly normal on the issue. If you have a problem with that 9 - I could probably show you one hundred other nines from the set that have similar problems. I've never seen Doug's 1955 Bowman, so i cannot speak intelligently on that one, but I'm guessing that the scan you see is as good as the 9 that is in Davalillo's set.

calleocho · February 24, 2005 10:56PM

I agree with Marc, 55 bowman is the kind of set where some small chipping its almost a guarantee even in super high grade.

similar to 62 topps, i am blown away with that PSA 9 Aaron.

in this particular case i would pay to have that card reviewed. I think it deserves GEM MINT.( if the back is ok)

bobsbbcards · February 25, 2005 12:25AM

Here's the '72 Cloth Aaron and two of his friends:

jackstraw · February 25, 2005 12:40AM

ok bob enough with that worthless stuff

you must have a spare room in your basement for all that junk?I have said it before time and time again you are an asset to this board and psa! they should hire you!

doug fire up the scanner and show us a picture of the 55 bowman and 72 in action 9's!!!!!!

carew4me · February 25, 2005 1:10AM

Wow! Nice stuff.

*there is also an oddball Aaron in a set called "1988 Houston Show Set". Mainly Astros and and odd mix of HOFers. Maybe 22 cards total.

MajorDanby · February 25, 2005 1:27AM

I dont have too many graded oddball aaron stuff...for whatever reason, ive decided to keep them raw.

i love this card.

If anyone has a high grade milk duds aaron, post it!!...i would love to see that.

bobsbbcards · February 25, 2005 7:36AM

I really like that '55 Doubleheader! Here's a lower grade Milk Duds box (and again a few friends). The '69 Super is my favorite:

jackstraw · February 25, 2005 11:43AM

this is becoming my favorite thread well almost. my newest friend. went alot cheaper than i thought?

murcerfan · February 25, 2005 11:49AM

MajorDanby · February 25, 2005 2:51PM

bob: nice milk dud! thanks for the post.

that is also a very nice bazooka. who was on the rest of the panel??

keep the pics coming!!

bobsbbcards · February 26, 2005 12:26AM

<< <i>that is also a very nice bazooka. who was on the rest of the panel?? >>

The Bazooka is a 1959. They weren't panels that year; just single cards. There are two variations on the Aaron--one with white letters in the name and one with yellow letters.

murcerfan;
Very nice Lake to Lake Aaron. I've been looking for that set, but all I keep finding is the reprint set.

Bob

jackstraw · February 26, 2005 12:39AM

i agree nice lake to lake!

bobsbbcards · February 26, 2005 1:07AM

Since there was some confusion about Bazooka Aarons, here's the whole kaboodle. Oddly, Aaron wasn't part of the 1961 Bazooka set (might have been the only set in the '60s that didn't include him):

1960 Bazooka

1962 Bazooka

1963 Bazooka

1964 Bazooka

1965 Bazooka

1966 Bazooka

1967 Bazooka

1968 Bazooka

1971 Bazooka (Unnumbered)

1971 Bazooka (Numbered)

Bob...

bobsbbcards · February 26, 2005 1:57AM

Note to Dave...don't let people with staplers near your Bill Bruton cards. Ouch!

Awesome set. I'm going to peruse through "USERS OTHER SETS". I'll be back!

Bob

jackstraw · April 26, 2005 12:09AM

Hey Doug fire up the scanner and get us junkies a scan of the 72 In Action.

julen23 · April 26, 2005 12:58AM

I have a Ralston Purina Tom Seaver that makes those cards look like puppy chow....

Julen

Stingray · April 26, 2005 1:12AM

Had that debat before on the 55 Aaron, just wondering if there is a post or can someone show a card that is a 9 or 10 that should in no way be in a 9 or 10 holder?

Stingray

jackstraw · July 12, 2006 8:21AM

TTT to enjoy some great cards !
