This is an absolute gem of a piece. An embossed printers card of Hank Aaron with the Indianapolis Clowns used for print advertising. Unused, this printers card was used to make programs, posters and handouts which were intended to promote the Clowns and Hank Aaron. This exact same image was used for a postcard and sold for over $6,000 in the March 8th, 2008 Hunt Auctions sale. GEM mint condition. Image of the postcard is included in this listing for illustration purposes only, not included in lot.
"Henry Aaron Flashy Shortstop of Clowns."
Approximately 2 5/8 x 5 3/4 inches.
We have enhanced the contrast to show the detail.
An unbelievable early Henry Aaron item when he was just a crosshanded swinging kid of 18 years.
