1954 Topps #128 Hank Aaron Rookie PSA 7 NM
HAMMERIN' HANK ROOKIE!!! Presented here is a superb PSA 7 NM 1954 Hank Aaron Topps Rookie, boasting many of the qualities consistent with a pack-fresh example. Many die-hard fans and baseball purists still consider Aaron's 755 lifetime home runs the all-time mark. Hammerin' Hank is a member of the elusive 3,000-hit club and is the owner of two seemingly insurmountable statistics with the most lifetime RBIs (2,297) and total bases (6,856) in MLB history. Similar to legendary cards such as the Babe Ruth M101 and Mickey Mantle '51 Bowman rookie issues, the Henry Aaron Topps rookie issue has been significantly undervalued for quite some time and is now beginning to earn its rightful place among the hobby's most desirable and valuable first-year cardboard keepsakes. As for its allure and spectacular eye-appeal, a crystal-clear full-color Aaron portrait image accompanied by a vivid black and white fielding pose are both set against a bold autumn-orange background, with the classic illustration favoring the left edge between three dazzling white borders and very sharp corners. No glaring surface flaws are evident, with this 70-year-old 1st-year Aaron marvel retaining many eye-pleasing qualities consistent with a higher assessment!
