1965 Topps #170 Hank Aaron PSA 9 MINT - Only 3 PSA Examples Graded Higher!
MINT HAMMERIN' HANK!!! By 1965, Hank Aaron had joined the Giants' star center fielder Willie Mays as baseball's two finest players. The slugging outfielder would lead the Senior Circuit in homers for the fourth time in his career, with his 40 round-trippers and .318 batting average some of his foremost accomplishments for the 1965 campaign. Topps included Aaron as their #170 subject in their 1965 set via a classic batting pose keepsake, with this PSA 9 MINT marvel only bested by a meager three PSA copies! A gleaming obverse side surface, sparkling hues, fine centering, blinding white borders, pinpoint corners, and a perfectly registered Aaron batting pose showcasing his Milwaukee Brewers cap are the highlights of this timeless masterpiece. Only nine years later, the iconic Hammerin' Hank would do the impossible, passing Babe Ruth's majestic 714 homer mark to permanently etch his name in baseball immortality!
