Only my 2nd post-war pickup since starting to collect again like 6 years back. Love this card. Can't see why it isn't a 6.5 or so, but don't care too much about the grade. Mr. Hutchinson is from Seattle like me, and we have a world renowned cancer research institute named after him. Bought this one on a whim from the BST at a nice price. Thanks Tom!

Very pleased with this one, as I am slowly rebuilding my once complete Aaron set. The bright spots on the two corners are from the card sleeve inside the slab

Since this guy seems to have become the de facto 'card of the month,' I'll add the one I just got to bring me a step closer to completing the set…

Nice card. A 4.5 that looks like a 6 or better likely has some hidden wrinkle or other problem that comes out in grading under the black lights, but isn't readily noticeable otherwise. I agree with you, don't worry about the grade. I wonder how many cards in the 1980's that were honestly called NM or in that range later got stabbed as VG or something because of issues known only to the world of grading. I understand the purpose of grading, but cards like that are proof that it isn't the end-all, be-all I think. At the end of the day you can enjoy a card for it's presentation value and eye appeal over and above a technical grade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Neal - Great looking Aaron. Solid 7. Great pose from an under loved issue.
Good luck with your Aaron set. RayB

; that's why I said "if I were a PSA grader", I'd be embarrassed. Their inconsistency is awful. What they graded a 7 not real long ago is now less appealing than what they give a 5 now.
