1959 Topps #380 Hank Aaron SGC 9 MINT
NONE BETTER!!! Of the 580 encapsulated 1959 Topps Aaron's, this SGC Mint 9 heirloom is one of just 2 in the highest grade! Henry Aaron is on every historian's list of the top ten baseball players in baseball history. Aaron accomplished the "unthinkable" when he shattered the "Bambino" legendary 714 lifetime home run record as well as claiming the all-time record for runs batted in without the use of a single performance enhancing substance! Arguably, the greatest right-handed hitter ever, Aaron's lifetime achievements are beyond outstanding and his pristine representation on this breathtaking gem is the perfect testament to his magnificent career!

This magnificent offering easily portrays all of the necessary aesthetic qualities to achieve the sanctified "Mint 9" technical assessment. Any elite collector would be extremely challenged to find a finer looking Hank Aaron specimen, with its overall brilliance easily associating it to a "pack-fresh" copy. This Aaron "Rembrandt" provides pristine quality for every feasible technical aspect of the grading procedure, staring with a flawless and youthful looking Aaron portrait image encompassed by a radiant yellow backdrop. Virtually perfect centering, blinding white borders, razor sharp edging, the finest pin-point corners, and immaculate surfaces all combine to justify the incredible assigned grade. Sometimes the hobbyist loses sight that the 1950's cards have now exceeded more than a half-century in age, yet somehow this offered gem has managed to maintain all of its original pristine features.

Any visually striking cardboard example of the first player ever to surpass "The Babe's" home run mark is worth pursuing, but this museum worthy card of that same player is an unquestionable "must have" for any esteemed enthusiast. If you are a collector that will settle for nothing less than the "best of the rest", don't hesitate one moment in claiming ownership of this miraculous Aaron offering that is destined as a centerpiece attraction for any high end collector!
