His performance as a member of the semi-pro Mobile Black Bears earned him a spot on the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League. While averaging 36 home runs each year from 1954 to 1973, Aaron was on the inevitable path to potentially top one of baseball’s most heralded marks – Babe Ruth’s career 714 home runs. The set design is instantly recognizable and makes it quickly stand out. If more than ten cards are tied for the top ten positions, then cards may be grouped by position into a single line in the grid.

The 1959 Topps Hank Aaron baseball card shows off a nice headshot of Aaron encircled atop a yellow background. When cards are grouped in this way, the total number of cards per position will be shown in parentheses after the PSA grade.

It has been estimated that Aaron hit .366 with five home runs and 33 RBI in 26 Negro League games before catching the eye of two Major League franchises, the New York Giants and the Boston Braves.

To that point, Aaron batted cross-handed (as a right-handed batter, his left hand was placed above his right on the bat), but once in the Braves organization deserted the unorthodox grip and excelled as he scored 89 runs, had 116 hits, nine home runs and batted .336 to earn the Northern League Rookie of the Year award. Despite never hitting over 50 home runs in a single season, Aaron’s blasts cleared the outfield walls consistently throughout his 23 Major League seasons (1954-1976), eclipsing the 40-mark eight times. In 1958, Aaron won his first of three straight Gold Glove awards. It’s the cheapest of all his mainstream cards of the 1950’s but still it’s a key to not only the 1959 Topps set, but any serious Aaron collection. As he rounded the bases, he was greeted between second and third by two white college students who congratulated the slugger all the way to home plate.
