1970 Topps #500 Hank Aaron (PSA Mint 9)
So what is the only difference between this outstanding 1970 Topps PSA Mint 9 Aaron gem versus "Hammerin Hank's" home run status? Simply stated, only 3 PSA encapsulated examples have bested this seldom-surfacing masterpiece while NO player has legitimately bested Aaron's 755 lifetime round tripper mark. Indeed, due to Barry Bonds alleged use of performance enhancing drugs, Aaron's 755 home runs are still considered by most baseball purists as the pinnacle tally with this near-perfect offering a superb keepsake for the immortal Cooperstown inductee.

Aaron's 1970 season would produce another 30+ homers/100+ R.B.I.'s (38 & 118, respectively), with the 36-year old star's skill sets showing zero signs of slowing down. This gray-bordered gem has rightly earned its "Mint" status via a brilliant/unique-like Aaron image that, similar to every other card in this world-class collection, reflects near-perfect centering. An unquestionable "pack-fresh" baseball card, any sophisticated enthusiast would be hard-pressed to possibly locate a superior example!
