HANK AARON | 1962 TOPPS 394 | ALL STAR | PSA FR 1.5

PSA Graded Card - Certification #79376034 - Grade: FR 1.5

This card features Hall of Famer Hank Aaron and is part of the 1962 Topps 'The Sporting News National League All-Star' subset. The card design has a faux woodgrain border, with the title 'The Sporting News National League All-Star' printed prominently at the top in black and gold. The photo—characteristic of early 1960s sports photography—shows Hank Aaron posed with glove in the outfield, wearing his Milwaukee Braves uniform (#44). The bottom features a blue oval with his name 'HANK AARON' in bold white letters and 'OUTFIELD' in the lower left. The background has a stadium setting, while the card’s faux wood background and period typography make this a memorable and instantly recognizable Topps issue. This particular copy is graded as 'FR 1.5' by PSA, with visible wear: rounded corners, edge wear, and surface discoloration—typical of well-handled vintage cards. No special printing techniques (like foil or refractors) were used, as it is a standard base card from the era. This All-Star subset is notable for commemorating the top players of the time; Aaron, one of baseball's greatest hitters and a legendary figure, is showcased here in his prime. Unique elements include the iconic faux woodgrain and the large, blue nameplate that distinguishes the All-Star cards from the base player cards in the same set.
