1954 Topps #128 Hank Aaron Rookie PSA 6 EX-MT
HAMMERIN' HANK ROOKIE!!! Presented here is a superb PSA 6 EX-MT 1954 Hank Aaron Topps Rookie, boasting many of the qualities consistent with a pack-fresh example. Many diehard baseball fans still consider Aaron's 755 lifetime home runs the all-time mark, dismissing Bond's tainted 762 record due to his alleged use of PEDs. Hammerin' Hank is also a member of the elusive 3,000-hit club and is the undisputed owner of 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 Aaron rookie was significantly undervalued for quite some time and is now beginning to earn its rightful place among the hobby's most desirable and valuable inaugural cardboard keepsakes. Regarding its spectacular eye appeal, the crystal-clear 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 four dazzling white borders. No glaring surface flaws are evident, with this 70-year-old inaugural Aaron marvel retaining many eye-pleasing qualities consistent with a higher assessment!
