Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded NM/MT 88 by SGC. Absolutely incredible pack-fresh rookie card of Hall of Famer Hank Aaron from the classic 1954 Topps series. Only six 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie cards out of 282 examples evaluated to date by SGC have received a higher grade (four NM/MT 92+ and two MINT 96). This is a stunning and conservatively graded example. The card exhibits razor sharp corners, perfect gloss, virtually perfect centering both front and back, crisp flawless registration, bright and clean both front and back, free of all printing defects, and extraordinarily vibrant colors. This is a world-class high-grade example of one of the most popular of all Hank Aaron cards, and one of the most classic of all 1950s bubble-gum cards. The equivalent SMR value is $3,750. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000+. SOLD FOR $5,875.00
