1955 Topps #47, Hank Aaron ⭐ Presidential Medal of Freedom
My Dad pulled this card from a pack in 1955; I sent it to PSA this year.
Hank is a MLB Pioneer who started his pro baseball career in the Negro League.
He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest civilian award in the United States—on July 9, 2002.

He was honored not only for his historic athletic career in Major League Baseball (including breaking Babe Ruth's home run record and finishing with 755 home runs and 2,297 RBIs), but also for his courage, civil rights activism, and philanthropic work, such as the Chasing the Dream Foundation that he co-founded with his wife Billye.

Hank was the fifth former Major League Baseball player to receive the honor.

1955 Topps #123, Sandy Koufax ⭐ The Left Arm of God
Wishing all my friends and card folk a bright shiny golden Throwback Thursday with this bright yellow Sandy Koufax RC!
My Dad kept this card in a shoe box. I didn't discover it until about 18 years after he had passed.
I sent it in to PSA for safe keeping.
The eye appeal is there - it looks better than any Koufax RC I've seen in a 3 holder.

1955 Topps #123 ⭐ Sandy Koufax
1955 Topps #124 ⭐ Harmon Killebrew
1955 Topps #164 ⭐ Roberto Clemente
Today, we're taking the way back time machine to 1955.
Three of the greatest and all-time iconic RCs also happen to be from the 1955 Topps Baseball Card Set.

1955 Topps #2, Ted Williams ⭐ American Treasure
1955 was just the second year that Ted Williams contracted with Topps for a baseball card.
As a reward for his second year Topps' card he was rewarded with the designation of Card #2 in the set.
In his first year, 1954, he was awarded Card #1, as well as a second card, which was the last card in the 1954 set.
My Dad pulled this as a kid.
I sent it to PSA a few years ago for encapsulation.

1955 Topps #164, Roberto Clemente ⭐ The Greatest Humanitarian in Sports
Roberto Clemente was born on August 18, 1934, in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
Roberto would be celebrating his 92nd birthday, if he were still with us.
I bought this card raw on eBay in 2005 and forgot about it until about 2020 when I was looking through my collection during the start of the COVID pandemic.
I sent it to PSA for grading around 2021.
