1957 Topps #20 Hank Aaron PSA 9 MINT - Highest PSA-Graded Example!
PINNACLE AARON '57 TOPPS!!! Synonymous with his premier batting prowess, this awe-inspiring PSA 9 MINT 1957 Topps Hank Aaron marvel shares the spotlight as the finest of its kind! Of the approximate 5,400 PSA-encapsulated examples, a fractional 0.6% have achieved the hallowed 9 assessment, with not a single specimen graded higher. The 1957 campaign would be a special year for the immortal Hammerin' Hank, as Aaron would lead the Senior Circuit with 44 home runs and 132 runs batted in while posting a stellar .322 batting average. This incredible season would eventually lead to his first MVP Award and world championship, ably assisting the Milwaukee Braves in besting the mighty Yankees in the 1957 Fall Classic.

Similar to his remarkable 755 lifetime round-trippers, his representation on this breathtaking offering is remarkable to say the least! You have to ponder what it truly requires to achieve a 10 Gem Mint assessment since this offering appears to provide all of the necessary technical qualities. Its overall radiance places it as one of the finest looking examples extant, with its only negligible imperfections being the image's slight favoritism towards the upper left edges as well as revealing a somewhat modest rough right edge factory cut (typical for numerous '57 Topps subjects). A seemingly flawless young Aaron reverse batting stance image dominates the obverse side, reflecting zero ill-effects from nearly 67 years of potential wear. The pristine image resides between four bright white borders, and the razor-sharp corner tips and impeccable surfaces are the final superlatives for this extraordinary blazer that has miraculously withstood the test of time!
