1958 Topps Hank Aaron - BLUE background??

[1963Topps Set]

Only 50 gs. I am glad it is priced reasonably. Nothing noted on the grading label. Interesting.

I can't believe you outed that auction!

I was going to swoop too!

Me too Al, me too.

But if anyone wants one for 1/2 price of the one on eBay please let me know. I can get you a much nicer one graded by your favorite company or raw.

This one just sold on eBay for $71, it was advertised as a 1958 Topps Hank Aaron blue background error card. It's obvious that it was just a normal card that sat in the sunlight behind a glass display counter at a sports card store for an extended period of time, with a price tag protecting the unfaded small rectangle area.

At least they are not pulling insane premiums anymore. It is the first I have seen since the mass selloff from board members after they where proved to be just altered cards.

I see there is another one of these rare gems on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-Topps-3...QAAOSwImRYG-bU

I bought a blue 1986 Topps Joe Montana at a show for a buck that I later realized was just light faded. I also have a gray-backed 1965 Murakami.

The graded blue Aaron in the Heritage auction sold for over $3000 with bp and was resold by Probstein123 on Ebay for around $550 a little while later. Not sure what this Gibson will sell for the first time, but will be interesting to see what it sells for the second time.
