1968 Topps Hank Aaron #110

PSA 7

DESCRIPTION: A beautiful example graded well after PSA raised their grading standards over the pandemic. One owner since 1966. Graded for the first time in January 2024 in an order that, we believe, represented a tough grader across the order. Truly pack fresh (read below). Bright colors, good image clarity, sharp corners and edges. Some minor centering issues. We believed this had a great chance at a 8.

PROVENANCE: I recently began assisting a local retired professional with his vast childhood collection of sports cards, sports memorabilia, books, and toys (partially shown in last pic). He kept nearly everything he acquired as a kid, including packaging ephemera. He personally pulled this card from a pack of 1968 Topps, and he still has the wax box it came out of. (See pic of box, cards, and inserts--they are not included in this sale.) He arranged all his cards, mostly from 1966-1975, in neat stacks in shoe boxes--and they have been stored in a highly organized fashion just like that for 50+ years in smoke-free, climate-controlled homes. Remarkably, until we submitted this card for grading, it had never been inside any kind of sleeve. Never in a penny sleeve, never in a toploader, never in an album, never in a screwdown or one-touch. He also never attempted to sell his cards before now; they've never been handled at card shops, shows, or garage sales. A truly pack-fresh and high-grade vintage Topps card with one original owner.
