    Beautiful set! Especially your '55 and '60! Where is '72- 74?

    Blown away. Those are seriously some nice cards. The 66,67, & 68 aren't showing up for me but if they're as nice as the rest you've got a sweet run there. Congrats on completing your mission!

    Those are beautiful, but I have to ask what happened when you bought the 67? All the others have spectacular centering!

  • TabeTabe Posts: 6,175 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Is it just me or does Hank have some pretty disappointing cards for a HOF'er of his stature? I don't mean the general design - most of these are awesome classics - but the photo selection. From re-using the same picture from 1954-1956 to the bland portraits and weakly posed "action" shots, etc. Where's the great photo of Hank at the plate? Or something!

    That said, that is a sweet batch of Aarons you've got. Congrats on completing the run!

    Bobby. The '54 was purchased within the last week. It was the piece of the set that I have been needing for some time.

    Thanks Dan. Oddly enough, you have purchased a '54 Aaron from the same guy within the last several days!! Funny how that works out. Thanks again and I am glad to have this set done...for now.

    Wow, love how they are presented all together. Great stuff!

    All I can say is wow. Being a Hank collector myself I always enjoy seeing other peoples sets.
    I have been looking for a nice 63 for about 5 months now but cant find the right one.

    Question.

    Where is the 55 Bowman?

    Great example of how to chase nice 7s/8s. These "goal completed" type threads are the best. Congrats!

    Just out of curiosity, do you have any plans to display these? If so, I'd love to see what the end result looks like.

    Aaron is my favorite player. What a nice collection, especially the 54.
