Postwar Baseball - 1970s to Present Cards
Fascinating collection of five 1971 Topps "Coins" featuring Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, each representing a different stage in the printing process. This collection of five rare proof cards is likely unique; they were intended for use by the printer to help check and correct colors prior to printing production quantities. Many collectors are familiar with the color progression proof cards sold by the Topps Vault on eBay, which often bring extremely high prices when offered individually. It is very rare to find a complete "matched set" run of any Topps proof cards, let alone a popular Hall of Famer like Hank Aaron. The cards all have blank backs. All the proof cards have a Near Mint appearance. An exceptionally rare and fascinating collection of five Hank Aaron proof cards from this popular 1970s Topps insert set. Total: 5 cards. Opening Bid $10.
