HANK AARON, Braves NEVER DISTRIBUTED 1954 Topps/rookie ~ 2000 All-Star FANFEST

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . ~ Never Distributed 1954 Rookie Card version ~ #1 of 4 - Henry Louis Aaron, Milwaukee Braves 2000 All-Star FanFest ~ This was to be the Topps entry Atlanta hosted the 2000 Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star game and the popular co-event, FanFest. Four special cards were produced for the event - one each by the major card producers of the day: Topps, Upper Deck, Pacific and Fleer. Card #1 of 4 was intended to be the a rendition of the 1954 Hank Aaron rookie card but instead, a batting pose of Aaron was substituted. The planned '54 version was never distributed. We recently acquired a quantity* of these never distributed Topps #1 of 4 Henry Aaron rookie card versions. Each measures the modern standard (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") and features a full color image. On the front, "Topps" appears in gold stamping beneath "Braves" and to the right of Aaron's chin is the 2000 MLB All-Star logo. On the reverse, the card is numbered "1 of 4" and below Aaron's fielding record is a line which reads: Registered & copyrighted 2000 THE TOPPS COMPANY, INC. TOPPS REPRINT 1 OF 4. Condition: Near-Mint/MintANY NUMBER of single cards (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) will ship for the USPS Ground Advantage rate IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. eBay standard envelope is another option within its limitations. Questions? Email us. Speculative Note why this card may not have been distributed at FanFest 2000: There were four different Hank Aaron cards issued for the 2000 All-Star FanFest event and each was a unique design. It may be that Topps originally intended to go with the 1954 Aaron rookie format but switched to a unique (never before used) format (like the other manufacturers) and released it rather than the '54 style. In any event, we believe we were the first to offer this card on eBay._______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
