1965 Topps #170 Hank Aaron (PSA Mint 9) - Only 2 Graded Higher!
Due to the ongoing steroids issue in professional baseball, many diehard baseball fans still consider Aaron's 755 lifetime home runs the all-time mark, dismissing Bond's 762 statistical high mark. Additionally, Aaron is a member of the elusive 3,000 hit club and is the undisputed owner of the most lifetime R.B.I.'s in Major League history. For these reasons alone, more hobby enthusiasts are beginning to "jump aboard" the Aaron bandwagon and seizing his prized high grade cardboard artifacts before they reach a stratospheric level. One such gem is this breathtaking PSA Mint 9 offering that has only been bested by a paltry 2 PSA Gem Mint 10 examples! Hank Aaron's lifetime achievements are outstanding and, likewise, his representation on this hallowed 1965 Topps marvel is simply magnificent.

A still youthful looking Aaron batting image accompanied by his Atlanta Braves pennant are both set against a brilliant background as Aaron prepares to launch another pitch towards a stadium's furthest confines. Atypical for virtually all 1965 Topps issues is the virtually perfect centering that includes no tilt, with the sanctified image well aligned between four blinding white borders. Pin-point corners, a gleaming surface, extremely sharp edges, and a pristine-like verso complete one of the finest looking Hank Aaron cardboard mementos in circulation. If you are a collector that will settle for nothing but the finest aesthetically pleasing cards, then this "pack-fresh" offering that reflects "Perfect 10" eye appeal is the one for you!
