1954 Topps Hank Aaron #128

Stunning example of signed vintage. Severely undergraded card which only adds to the eye appeal in my opinion. Very much prefer the vertical ballpoint compared to the commonly seen horizontal sharpie. Nothing jumps out at me here.. That almost always equates to god tier, and it certainly does here.

This is the ideal Hank signature, with the styled out H and fully legible. Centering is the cherry on top.

The single greatest Hank Aaron RC in extistence. Vintage ballpoint auto and dead-centered with a great image. God Tier all the way.

Spectacular card and perfectly placed ballpoint auto in my opinion. Could not ask for anything more!!

Outstanding left/right centering with a clean background puts this card far above the grade. Add the signature and you have a fantastic specimen.

I mentioned in another 1954 Aaron review that I prefer horizontal autos but this one gets a strong A+ anyway. Ballpoint, check. Centering, check. Color and focus, double check.

Good looking card. Auto is in an ok location but not ideal and the signature looks good but would have been nicer more bold. THe card itself has good corners and borders

Combination of essentially perfect centering and vintage ball point autograph is extraordinary.

This is card is a force! The centering is great for any version of the '54 Aaron and the autograph is well placed. Having the card signed in ball point pen versus blue sharpie, as so many of these cards are, increases the eye appeal overall and keeps the focus equally on the portrait as well as the ink. The auto has a little fading and the name at the top is blurry. These are the only real blemishes of a beautiful card.

This is the best signed Aaron RC I have ever seen, in any grade. This card hits the eye as severely undergraded by the third party system. The centering is very rare for a card that always seems to be off or a bit tilted. The autograph is in the perfect spot and also in vintage ball point. It's also a strongly struck signature, as opposed to examples from his much later period. Just a fantastic looking card and even more impressive in its current holder.
