With the recent surge in demand for rookie cards, the value of the 1954 Topps Hank Aaron has skyrocketed at virtually every grade level. The presented example of "Hammerin' Hank's" debut card has been graded PSA 6 EX/MT but displays a number of virtues superior to its grade to counteract the centering bias toward the bottom edge. The strong central image with its robust orange backdrop and deep blue color is so entrancing that it immediately forces your attention to the brightness of the stark white borders. The corners and edges are probably EX/MT from a technical aspect but appears stronger to the naked eye. A positively shimmering Aaron rookie that represents the EX/MT 6 class very well.
