Default How to display your fave Hank Aaron card

About a month ago, I asked for ideas on how to best display my Joe D card... some awesome and clever ideas and images were suggested (the Marlilyn Monroe playboy mag may have won the most creative idea). I ended up buying a killer 1937 Baseball Mag with Joe on the cover

And now - would love to see or hear your ideas on how to show off my new fave - 1955 Hank Aaron

As a reminder, here is a taste of what I have in my Card Cave - would love some cool, different ways to be a backstop to old Hammering Hank

Thx all!

The Sports Illustrated 715 cover wouldn't be a bad choice.

An action photo 8x10 would also be interesting.

This was a collector magazine published in the early 90's for cereal box collectors. Issue 13 featured articles and pictures of baseball-related cereal boxes. This is the cover of issue 13. It might make a unique addition to your Aaron display.

Solid idea.... can’t go wrong (or maybe an old “Oh Henry” candy bar?)

Go with the 16" mini bat! I'm thinking of grabbing an Ernie Lombardi mini bat for my collection.

Started and ended his career in Milwaukee?? Hmmm...you have to throw in a subtle reference to 'Laverne & Shirley' or 'Happy Days' (or 'Mork & Mindy'?) or you ain't human!!!

That would look sweet for sure... or maybe the famous photo of the two dudes who ran with him after “the” home run. I like it - thx for the idea
