My Hank Aaron run

I found the white back proof on ebay. It was listed at too high of a price at first, but kept getting lower each time it got relisted. It finally came down to the price I had in mind, so I bought it. I don't have the white back deckle edge Aaron; I don't remember ever seeing one. Just another card I'm still looking for.

Congrats on the white back Deckle proof. That action cartridge is an awesome item I've never seen before.

I've picked up a few cards in the last few months, so I thought I'd update this thread. Here's two '70 Super color proofs, a '70 Braves Stamps panel, a '70 Topps Candy Lid, a '69 Transogram top panel, and a '55 Yellow Basepaths pin. I've been looking for the candy lid for quite a while. I have doubts about whether or not the handcut Transogram should be considered a real card, but PSA does grade them. I am a little concerned about the pin, since I picked it up for really cheap. I guess I'll find out when I send it in to PSA.

I'm doing a run of checklists with Aaron's cards listed. I got these 2 1968 Topps Venezuela checklists. One is a normal checklist, the other is an error wrong back.

I picked up this 1958 "blue" Aaron. There was another thread where this exact card was mentioned. I knew exactly what this card was when I bought it, It was a faded 1958. I wanted one like it, but I did not want one that I knew had been purposely faded. This one shows green where a price sticker was probably once attached. I do not believe someone would leave a spot of green on purpose and hope it was just accidental. Nevertheless, it's something I wanted, but did not want to spend a lot on.

One final post for today. I've been changing my home office around. I thought I'd show one completed wall. I was tired of not being able to see my cards and having to get them out of secure storage to look at them. I decided to get wall display cases for graded cards and jerseys. I was really disappointed with the card case; it was advertised as holding 35 graded cards, but only holds 30 SGC cases. I would like to have shown more. I am really proud of the fact that the most I spent on any card shown was $200 for the rookie. Low to mid grade cards are the most fun!

You're the one who got that Venz marichal CL with wrong back! I collect 68 Venz and thought it was interesting, but my conservative snipe of $50 was blown out of the water.
