Never thought I would ever own this nice a looking Hank Aaron rookie.

I came across this Aaron rookie listed on Ebay a couple of days ago. It had just listed so I was able to make deal with the seller before someone else got involved. This card looks like a PSA 8 on first glance. Just a great card for grade. The card is graded appropriately as there is a spider wrinkle on the top starting on the second letter A in his last name. Overall just a stunner of a card for the grade.

You did well. Very nice.
That is great. I had an opportunity to buy a 5 at a show last month that did not present nearly as well as this one. The owner would not move one penny on his price and in the long run I am glad I walked away. It freed up cash to make another purchase later that week that I have had more fun going through. Congrats. Incredible card, and I am very jealous.
gorgeous!
Centering is off the charts w/o any tilt! Nice...looks under graded!!!
Wow that is one to be proud if. Congratulations on an amazing addition to your collection.
That's quite a beauty!
Congrats JB! That is a beauty for sure, awesome centering!
Gorgeous card!!! I own this card in a 7 so before I looked at the grade I made sure to scroll down past your comments and past the flip and see if I could guess the grade--corners and centering looked great so I said to myself it's got to be at least a 7 (it looks better than my 7 centering wise) or a 7.5, possibly an 8. Then I scrolled back up to the flip and was like "WTF!!! A 4 .5?!?!?!"😲😳I obviously figured I must've missed something minuscule and read your comments where you mention the spider wrinkle--yeah I can just make it out in your scan but you know, who cares?!?! I would probably (notice I didn't say definitely lol?!?!) take this one over my 7 six days out of seven (so not every day but almost)--congrats on acquiring a beautiful card!!
What a beautiful card! Nice pick up!

Beautiful card, not sure how it only got a 4.5
Here is a scan of the back.
SUPER GREAT card!! Congratz!!
That is a blazer, David! Congrats!
A real beauty!
A one in a million girl!!!
Wow, that's a stunner, congrats!
While I am sure the grade is technically correct, I have never understood why PSA downgrades so harshly for a simple surface wrinkle. Those are the kinds of cards collectors drool over.
Geez Louise! Nice card you got yourself there. I have a 4.5 as well.
Yes this 100%. Give me ALL the spider wrinkled iconic cards, please!
If i were the grader, the "spider wrinkle" would not have lowered it below a 6.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I am with several other folks in that it looks undergraded to me. I understand about the small crease, but that overall eye appeal is spectacular to me.
Wow that is a truly sharp card. Any person would be honored to have that as part of their collection. Congrats on the great pick up.

Great looking card
Nice !
My gosh that is a stunning card. Please let me know when you want to sell that. I would pay up for a card like that. Great job, David.
Congratulations! It’s a beauty!
I can see that being the FIRST GRADED CSG 10!!
Nice
The grader of death made that a 4.5. What an Awesome pick up! Congrats!
Oh wow! That looks amazing! I had a similar type of purchase a few months ago where I picked up a card that looked awesome for the assigned grade. Do we have a thread here for "Showcase your cards that look better than the assigned grade"? Congrats on the Aaron!
Other than that a super clean back.
Beautiful card! I absolutely love lower grade cards that present so well! This one is awesome 👍👍
awesome card

Helluva good deal for a very nice card at 4.5 money or even if you paid a bit more than that. 👍
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
COPPER is gutter !

I wouldn't slash a grade for such a tiny wrinkle like that. If it traverses half the card and looks like a bolt of lightning then sure. But that thing is TINY. Ahhhhh the grading process giveth and taketh away.
