Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his sought-after "Rookie Card" appearance. Among more than 4,000 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just thirty examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. A splendid example of a cherished collectible! On the offered specimen of his rookie card, the all-important portrait of the Home Run King visually resonates with perfectly aligned color and fabulous detail. The obverse's lesser elements—the Braves' team logo, Aaron's black-and-white action photograph, a background field of bright orange – contribute their own, unblemished character to a thoroughly satisfying aesthetic. The card's corners are nicely pointed and its back is super-fresh in its presentation. Here is a praiseworthy commemoration of a fabled career's onset, in sparkling Near Mint to Mint condition.
