Ben, I agree, it does appear that just the black ink is missing from that area of the card and this Aaron is legit.
Al, my guess is that either or both of the cards that appeared next to Aaron (or possibly all 11 on the Aaron's row) on it's original sheet are likely missing the black ink in the same area. I was not able to locate an image of the sheet from that series to see which cards were located next to the Aaron. Even with the age of the internet, I have never seen any other 1960 Topps cards like this, so it may very well be unique.
