Which PSA Aaron would you keep?

I am looking to refocus my collection and likely parting with 2 of these. Each are cool for different reasons. Which would you keep for long term value.

Obviously the 54 is special but the grade isn't. The O-pee-chee has very low pop but isn't very in demand. The 75 #1 is a classic.

Thanks for any feedback.

    I would definitely keep the '54 Topps Aaron.

    His RC will always be in demand

    As the others have said, keep the 54. It is a top 10 card of all-time IMHO!!

    Keep the rookie. The 75 OPC is about as good as it gets but the rookie will always win out as far as demand. Some nice looking cards.

    Keep the rookie card. I had a 75 Aaron #1 in a PSA 9 that was dead centered and saw very little demand for it from buyers. Rookie cards always trump other examples.

    Keep the Rookie. Are you seeing a trend here? :)

    I agree with the rookie also. Classic and a top 10 card.

    I would keep which ever is the harder card to replace.

    Keep the OPC. That thing is a beauty.

    I love that 75 OPC card, too. The rookie is easily replaceable in that grade but a PSA 9 75 OPC card is super tough to find. But I am one of the few collectors who love OPC baseball cards, too. The RC will certainly be easier to sell if you decide to do so.

    Thanks guys - really appreciate the feedback. Will probably unload the 75 Topps #1.

    BTW - The 660 was my first chase card as a kid. Dad bought me a wax box at the local drug store for $5. To think a case was $120!!!

    Keep the rookie for sure, if it were me, I guess I'd just keep em all, because two cards won't derail your new collecting focus.

    Everyone will have different desires and goals -- but for me (and many) keeping the rookie is a no-brainer. For a couple of reasons, for me: it could be reasonably expected to hold its value as much, or more, than any other Aaron card item; it's a card that I do genuinely prefer as a collector as opposed to later years, even putting value aside (aesthetically I think it's a beautiful card.) It's "only" a VG, but you could always sell in the future to pursue an upgrade, when finances permit.
