Top Hank Aaron Cards #s 10-6
10: 1976 Topps #550 Hank Aaron
At the end of the 1976 season, a 42-year-old Aaron called it a career. The 1976 Topps #550 represents his last Topps card from an illustrious career. In his final campaign, “Hammerin Hank” smacked eight homers, validating the “old man strength” trope.
9: 1964 Topps Photo Tattoo Hank Aaron
The 1964 Topps Photo Tattoo Hank Aaron is one of his more affordable vintage offers and also one of his rarest. The mere idea of a photo tattoo card is why this bad boy made this list — salute to early innovation.
8: 2003 Topps Stadium Club Co-Signers Classic #CS-AM Hank Aaron/Willie Mays Auto
By 2003, both Mays and Aaron had long been retired, with homes built in Cooperstown. But that didn’t stop the production of their trading cards. Enter the 2003 Topps Stadium Club Co-Signers Classic #CS-AM Hank Aaron/Willie Mays Auto, which marks the two Hall of Famers’ first dual autograph card. Happy Hunting!
7: 1991 Upper Deck Hank Aaron Auto /2500
The 1991 Upper Deck Hank Aaron Auto /2500 is one of the cooler design on this list. The cartoonish style and the three different poses of Aaron help tell a story of a legendary career. Moreover, with a print run of 2500, it’s one of the harder-to-find cards. But what really sets the 1991 Upper Deck Hank Aaron Auto /2500 apart is that it marks Aaron’s first pack-pulled auto.
6: 1965 Topps #170 Hank Aaron
The 1965 Topps #170 Hank Aaron represents Aaron’s final card with the Milwaukee Braves. The following year, the team relocated to Atlanta, where the franchise resides today. Though rare, PSA 10s have reached five-figure totals. This card is a gem and a true piece of history.
