My 1954-1976 Topps Hank Aaron run is now complete, as I picked up the 1954 Hank rookie this week. I’m thrilled to own this iconic card, and thoroughly enjoyed putting the run together and identifying great looking low/mid grade copies of each card. Completing something like this is interesting. I’m stoked to have finished the project, but also a bit sad that that part of my collecting journey is over. Sure, I can upgrade certain cards to higher grades, but it won’t be the same as putting it together for the first time. I will

enjoy this complete collection, and look forward to figuring out where my collecting goes from here.

I can’t always afford the typical chase cards (like the ‘54 Topps Hank Aaron), so I go for cards like this - there’s some great photography in these Johnston Cookies sets, which feature an iconic Milwaukee Braves squad…

1954 Topps #128, Hank Aaron ❤44❤
This card was a gift from a dear family friend. His Dad and mine were the very best of friends.
His Dad loved this card so much that he punched holes in it so that he could run a string through it and then hang it in his bedroom.
I wouldn't trade this card for the world.
