(LOT 218)
1955 Topps #47 Hank Aaron PSA 8 NM-MT
PACK-FRESH HAMMERIN' HANK!!! The 1955 season would see the Milwaukee Braves sophomore sensation Hank Aaron have his breakout campaign, with Hammerin Hank belting 27 round-trippers, knocking in 107 runs and posting a stellar .314 batting average. Topps celebrated Aaron's second season by including him on their #47 subject, with this PSA 8 NM-MT '55 Topps marvel still portraying an abundance of pack-fresh attributes. A blazer to say the least, its four sharp corners and classic Aaron portrait and batting images steal the show, with the illustration exhibiting atypical near-perfect centering. Relatively clean surfaces are the final superlatives for one of Hank's most popular cards, with Aaron's 755 lifetime homers and still-standing records of 2,297 RBIs and 6,856 total bases justifying his iconic stature. Arguably the greatest right-handed hitter in baseball history, this 68-year-old heirloom stands as a fine testament to Aaron's unparalleled immortality!
