This 1955 Bowman Hank Aaron, second year card was picked up by me at a local card show today. While I only paid $50 for this card, I can’t help but think about all the stories this card could tell. This piece of cardboard is 70 years old and is just as impressive today, as it was in 1955.
I can imagine a kid riding his bike to the drugstore and buying a pack of Bowman for $0.05. Imagine the thrill of opening that wax pack and unearthing Hammerin’ Hank! I’m not huge into the vintage game, but it’s cards like these that make me love this unbelievable hobby, even more.
