1974 Topps #1, Hank Aaron ⭐ All-Time HR King
This was Topps Card #1 for 1974, in anticipation of Aaron's capturing the MLB All-time HR Crown.👑
This is the exact card I pulled from a pack as a kid and it may have been my biggest thrill and a perfectly fitting post for tonight's HR Derby.
I kept this card in a shoebox from 1974 until a few years ago, when I subbed it to PSA.
I didn't care about the grade then and I don't care now.
I just love this card, that's all.❤

1974 Topps #283, Mike Schmidt ⭐ 500 HR Club
This is Mike Schmidt's first solo flagship playing days card.
At this point, few suspected that he would become arguably the best third baseman of all-time and member of the 500 HR Club.
I love the 1974 Topps design, even though I like some others from the 1970s better.

1974 Topps #283, Mike Schmidt ⭐
This is Mike Schmidt's first solo appearance on a Topps baseball card.
I pulled this one as a kid and sent it to PSA a couple years ago.
One of the best to ever play the hot corner.🔥

1974 Topps #1, Hank Aaron 👑 All-Time HR King
This is the same card I pulled from a pack I bought at Helmick's Market in 1974.
I distinctly remember thinking that I'd won the lottery when I saw this card pop up.😂
I put it in a shoebox, where it stayed until I sent it to PSA to protect it from myself & to preserve it for my kids and their kids.
