Came across this on the interwebs - Original Henry Scouting Report for the Braves - Henry was 18

"fair" power. Yeah, I'd say Henry's power was at least fair

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.

I really missed having these cards with me on the day Hank passed away. Since I just got them back from PSA, I'm posting a pic.

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?
