Bowman's 1955 TV set is a love-hate affair with many collectors but we think everyone can agree this particular shot of Hank Aaron is on the love side of the ledger. At a time when Topps was reusing many images from year to year, Bowman featured some fine original lens work in their final baseball set.

This example shows some wear, typical for this full-bleed set, along the right and bottom edges but presents a clear, strong image of Aaron. Centering is nice, save for some minor diamond cutting which leaves the top left corner just a hair higher than the right. Nevertheless, a very strong example, graded EX-MT 6 by PSA of the inner-circle Hall of Famer.
