sad day for Aaron fans like me. I never seen him play but what I have seen is an all around classy guy.  He will be missed by his fans, his teammates, the Braves and future Braves. Including all fans of the game
 

EBay once had a policy is if someone famous (usually sports) they will not allow it to be listed and sold.  Now if there is an item on before he passed and has a bid they will let that auction alone

it bad to profit on someone's death like this but I understand funeral homes Only difference is the family usually has insurance and the deceased usually has a will and no one lives forever (well except only one and I am not him)

Unfortunately, it seems like the norm. Hank Aaron is an American icon. Amazing man.

I never seen him play, but he broke Ruth's 715 HR record on my birthday 4-8-74........

there's few times a retired players cards go up in value: HoF induction, and death.  Usually when someone famous dies, there's a renewed interest in their career, same goes for musicians.  Is it wrong for people to want to go buy when they previously wouldn't?
