Reggie Jackson-Hank Aaron

Ever since I started collecting in the mid 1980s, I’ve always been kind of fascinated by this 1955 Bowman set. I think they took a big risk in terms of style and it paid off. The wood-edged borders of a vintage television set really makes us stand out and unique and original in design. Of course, Hank Aaron cards are timeless, and I’d love to have one in a higher grade, this one still gives me the nostalgic feel without costing an arm and a leg. I would love to upgrade this at some time, but it’s not super high on my priority list.

1965 Batting Leaders

In my younger years when I was buying a lot of “wax”, just for a dopamine hit to honestly not really get anything of value and even then was a risk. A card store owner introduced me to vintage. Now, I knew these players but was always discouraged because the sticker price for a lot of the cards was the price of 2 boxes+ of cards. He recommended that I ease my way in with the “Leaders” cards because you could get a bunch of the HOFer’s all in one! And I actually thought they were pretty cool too!

So, if you’re thinking about getting into vintage cards, this isn’t a horrible way to start. Where else can you get a card that has Banks, Mathew’s and Hank Aaron all together?

My well-loved card of the night! This is my only Mantle card and one of my favorite Hanks. Most of my Hanks are one of my favorite Hanks!
