1964 Topps #300 Hank Aaron (PSA Mint 9) - 5 Graded Higher
PSA has encapsulated nearly 2,300 Hank Aaron 1964 Topps subjects with only a meager 5 specimens managing to best this "jaw-dropping" PSA Mint 9 offering! One of the three greatest right handed batters in MLB history (along with Foxx & Hornsby), the great Henry Aaron defied all odds when on April 8, 1974 he belted Al Downing's pitch into the Braves bullpen to surpass the "Babe's" iconic 714 mark. Every historian places "Hammerin Hank" on their top 10 all-time player list, and if the home run mark wasn't enough, Aaron also ended his career with the most runs batted in with an amazing 2,297 figure.
Likewise outstanding is this miraculous PSA Mint 9 gem that reflects an un-improvable Aaron portrait image that is extremely well-centered between four dazzling white borders. Four pin-point corners and the razor sharp edging could draw blood, with the brilliant surfaces and pristine verso the final exclamation points all contributing to the world-class assessment. Any visually striking cardboard example of the first player ever to surpass "The Babe's" home run mark is worth the chase, substantiating why we highly expect another advanced PSA Set registry hobbyist to capture it for their grand 1964 Topps compilation!
