(LOT 829)
1954 Topps #128 Hank Aaron Rookie PSA 7 NM

AARON ROOKIE!!! Currently, no baseball cards are hotter than prestigious high-grade late 1940's/1950's rookie cards of our National Pastime's greatest stars. Seemingly achieving record prices with each passing sale, there appears to be an infinite-like demand and pricing surge for the inaugural cards of Mantle, Mays, J. Robinson, Aaron, Clemente, Koufax and so many more. With regard to Hank Aaron, one of the most undervalued post WWII cards has always been his 1954 Topps rookie card. Fortunately, this inexplicable disservice to "Hammerin Hank's" first cardboard issue no longer exists, with each passing sale of his high-grade 1954 Topps gem achieving staggering price tags.

A young Aaron portrait image accompanied by a black & white fielding pose are both set against a brilliant orange background, with the classic illustration centered between four white borders. Strong corners, a gleaming surface, nice edges, help get this card in the offered PSA 7 holder. Any visually striking cardboard example of the first player to surpass "The Babe's" home run mark is worth pursuing, but a PSA 7 rookie card of that same player is a "must have" for any serious sports card enthusiast!
