Aaron-Autographed “Hank Aaron 715” Lithograph by Bill Purdom.
Lot 385. Aaron-Autographed “Hank Aaron 715” Lithograph by Bill Purdom. Unsigned versions of this 29 ½” x 21 ½” print typically sell for at least several hundred dollars. This print, #138 of 600, is boldly signed by Aaron, and by Purdom as well. In this artwork, Purdom captures the moment on April 8, 1974, at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta, when Aaron blasted a pitch from the Dodgers’ Al Downing over the left field wall for his 715th home run. The shot eclipsed Babe Ruth’s career record of 714 homers. Ruth’s record stood for 39 years. Aaron concluded his career in 1976 with 755 home runs. Thirty-four years later, his record remains unsurpassed without the apparent aid of dubious medicinal compounds. The lithograph is rolled and has creases in the border. Aaron’s autograph is a 10 of 10 authenticated by Kevin Keating. .
Winning Bid $100.
