THIS DANBURY MINT ALL STAR FIGURINES ATLANTA BRAVES HANK AARON IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF ARTWORK. THE DETAIL IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND THE HAND-PAINTED FIGURINE IS EXTREMELY REALISTIC AND VIVID. THIS COMMEMORATIVE PIECE WAS IN CELEBRATION OF "HAMMERIN' HANK" HITTING HIS 715th HOME RUN TO BREAK BABE RUTH'S LONG-STANDING RECORD. HE ENDED HIS CAREER WITH 755 TOTAL HOME RUNS.IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR REPAIRS. IT DOES COME IN THE ORIGINAL BOX, BUT THERE IS NO CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA). THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED AND HARD TO FIND FIGURINES. THE WOODEN BASE MEASURES 5" x 7.5" AND THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE FIGURINE IS 8.5" TALL. THERE IS A METAL PEG UNDERNEATH EACH OF HANK'S SPIKES THAT SLIDE INTO HOLES ON THE BASE TO HOLD HIM IN PLACE. THE FRONT OF THE BASE HAS A BRASS PLATE ATTACHED WITH HANK AARON ENGRAVED ON IT AND THE PLASTIC PROTECTIVE STRIP IS STILL IN PLACE. HIS FAUX AUTOGRAPH IS ON THE TOP OF THE BASE IN GOLD LETTERS UNDERNEATH THE FIGURINE. THERE IS ALSO AN OVAL BRASS PLATE ATTACHED TO THE BASE THAT SAYS ALL STAR FIGURINES OFFICIAL ISSUES OF THE DANBURY MINT AND A GOLD HANK AARON STICKER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE AND 4 CLOTH TABS TO PREVENT ANY SCRATCHES ON WHATEVER YOU DISPLAY THE HIM ON.
