SPECIAL SPOTLIGHT: "LOST" 1963 FLEER SECOND SERIES: HANK AARON

On the blog today, we add the great Hank Aaron to my on-going 1963 Fleer "Lost Second Series" thread, from my custom set released a few months back:


 
Aaron was smack in the middle of his incredible run as one of the all-time greatest the game has ever seen.
The man was simply out of this world...
Let his numbers do all the talking: 2174 runs scored, 3771 hits, 624 doubles, 98 triples, 755 home runs, 2297 runs batted in, a .305 batting average no less than 21 all-star selections!
Just tremendous!
He also had eight top-5 finishes for MVP, including taking home the award in 1957, as well as three Gold Gloves won consecutively between 1958-1960.
It's incredible to look at his 15 years of topping 100 or more runs scored, 11 seasons of 100 or more runs batted in, five more seasons of 90+ RBI's, and TWENTY STRAIGHT years of 20 or more home runs.
