No grade yet on the Aaron, although it was supposed to be 2-day service. Next week, I guess. It’s in QC 1 right now.

Exaggerate much?

I agree with a 3 on Hank. Another awesome card.

Grade is in on Hammerin' Hank. The '54 Aaron got a 2.5 After the Jordan, I wasn't surprised. Just happy it got the .5 bump, I guess. I also sent in a Goudey Ruth that I expected to get a 1, so at least I got that one right and it wasn't deemed Trimmed or something.

I have a PSA 2 '54 Aaron that I acquired in 2017, and quite frankly, your card is a much nicer version. Mine has four somewhat soft corners and small bit of paper loss on the front. Probably goes back your point regarding some of today's higher profile cards getting much more scrutiny. Regardless, it's a great looking card.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks, Mark.

And the Jordan arrived today. Best looking 5 I've seen!

Yes, it is! Congratulations. I predict that when (if) you sell you get high end 5 and even PSA 6 prices.

Enjoy!

I'm curious if you ever used a magnifying glass to look for a winkle on the Jordan front/back? That would seem to be the only reason for a 5. Lighting can also effect the ability to see subtle ones - although I'm sure you know all this.
