Here's the second post regarding my "Then and Now" series of cards
celebrating baseball stars at the twilight of their careers, this one of
all-time great Hank Aaron.
Take a look:
Following my design concept seen in my first post (Bob Gibson),
I've gone ahead and designed a 1976 card showing Aaron in his final
season in the Majors, along with his 1954 Topps rookie card on the left.
No need to go into Aaron's career here, just want to enjoy this card and the series idea.
I always loved that 1983 "super veteran" sub-set Topps created
(then again, I love everything about that 1983 set, period!), so I
wanted to put a spin on that idea and create a card like that for
various stars (and other guys who put together lengthy careers)
throughout the 1970's.
So while you'll see cards of the obvious super-stars, I'll also
throw in cards of guys like Don McMahon, Ted Abernathy, etc, who put
together some solid "time" in a Major League uniform, and should be
celebrated for their accomplishments.
Keep an eye out for them…
