Of the over 5,300 copies of Hank Aaron's 1968 Topps card that have passed through the grading room at PSA headquarters in Newport Beach, the featured collectible is one of only 5 examples that has been rewarded with the ultimate assessment of PSA 10 GEM MINT! Like legendary contemporaries, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, "The Hammer" was advancing in age, but Hank wasn't showing the effects of it, having just won another home run crown at 33 years old. Over the next 6 years, taking him up to 40 years old, Aaron averaged 39 round-trippers per season, which enabled him to knock off the immortal Babe Ruth as the all-time home run king. Four flawless endpoints and a perfectly framed image are merely the launch point toward sheer greatness. The color is spot on with a 3D-like appearance creating a kaleidoscope for the senses. The surface shimmers beneath an exquisite layer of flawless gloss. If you collect the exceptionally popular 1968 Topps set in ultra-high grade, this rare specimen is one of the surest ways to boost that precious set rating.
