I’m not sure why we have a 1961 Topps Hank Aaron recognizing his 1957 MVP season, but I’m glad we do. This is my 2nd highest graded Hank, so far. It’s a great early image of him and that blue is glorious.
My vintage card of the week: The 1961 Topps Carl Yastrzemski “rookie star” card. Though not his rookie card, I prefer the look of this card by far to the 1960 Topps Yaz card. The full-size portrait and gorgeous background colors just make a stunning card. It's probably my favorite card from the 1961 Topps set.
