Help identifying an Aaron card
I am an Aaron collector and a friend gave me this card that he bought at a flea market. Although he also collects vintage, neither he nor the dealer knew what the card is. Does anyone have any info on this card. It is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 with a blank back. The stock is slightly thinner than a regular issue 1970's card. I thought it may have been a Braves giveaway but I can't find anything that looks similar. I appreciate any help you can give.

Looks to me like a stadium type give away or souvenir stand type card ( Braves player photo pack)

1973 Braves team issue. One of several formats.

Thanks. I was thinking it was 1973 or early 1974 due to the uniform and the fact that no reference was made to the HR record. I really like the Braves' cards from mid-70's because of the uniforms. Always loved that look. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Collecting Aaron TI's gets a bit muddled around 1973-75, I suppose due to the record chase and the demand spike it must have caused. Up to 1972 it is pretty much one a year, but after that, I've found several different from that era, plus assorted stadium giveaways. Pinning down details is tough; the lack of mention of the record is a pretty good indicator of timing on this one.
