Looking through my Aaron stuff and came across these. The article is from a November 1983 write up in the Sacramento Bee about a local signing. Hope you guys can zoom in and read it. $1,000 an hour, not bad for 1983!
I know I sound childish saying it, but I'm really pissed PSA has my stuff. I sent cards my Uncle had signed by Hank at these shows to them back in July. I had no idea at the time they'd hold on to it for this long and I really wish I had them back with me.

The entire back page of today's print edition of the Washington Post's Sports Section is a full-color display of Topps' Hank Aaron cards, one for each year of his career. The online edition has a different configuration of this card display; here's the link to it:

Also interesting is that the scouting report shows Aaron's position as being shortstop.

Kevin Riley editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “ If there was any doubt about how truly humble Hank Aaron was, this is the family-placed obituary in Tuesday’s edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.”

Love seeing all of these great items and reading these personal stories.
Was a huge Hank fan when I was growing up, and was all in for his chase to pass Babe in 73 and 74. Still have my old beat up dresser that 9 year old me pasted a picture of Hank on one side of a drawer and Babe on the other. The chase was on! Swung a big trade (for me!) to get his rookie card later in the 70s. It's not a thing of beauty, but I love it just the same. Was really happy several years ago to pick up a cool companion piece!  A long classy important life well lived! Thanks for the memories, Hank!

Plus it can't hurt to have the Home Run King back on the front page for a bit. These were signed in 1983 at the show mentioned in the article above.

Here's a pair of recent acquisitions:
 If you were a kid and watched baseball around 1974 you probably saw a commercial for Oh Henry! candy bars with Hank Aaron. This promo was an accompanying piece. I've not seen one before.  1972 Baltimore Sun full-page premium. Does this scream "1970s" or what?
