1964 Topps Stand-Up Hank Aaron PSA MINT 9
1964 Topps Stand-Up Hank Aaron PSA 9 – An Iconic High-Grade of the Homerun King
The 1964 Topps Stand-Up Hank Aaron stands as one of the most visually dynamic and creative releases of the 1960s — a vivid, die-cut pop-art style issue designed to “stand up” on its own. Featuring Hank Aaron in a bright yellow and green backdrop with bold color blocking, it perfectly captures the vibrant mid-century energy of the era. By 1964, Aaron was already an established superstar — an MVP, perennial All-Star, and a model of consistency whose effortless power and precision made him one of the most respected hitters in baseball history.
This PSA 9 example, with none graded higher, represents the pinnacle for this issue. The colors are electric, the image razor-sharp, and the die-cut edges remain crisp and perfectly intact — a rare feat for a fragile format that often shows wear or surface splitting. The centering is superb, the surface gloss immaculate, and the presentation exceptional, making this an elite, museum-quality example of one of the hobby’s most condition-sensitive designs.
As one of the defining cards of Aaron’s playing era, this 1964 Topps Stand-Up bridges vintage artistry and Hall of Fame significance. High-grade survivors are exceedingly rare, but this PSA 9 — the finest known copy — stands in a class of its own. A breathtaking piece of 1960s baseball iconography, celebrating the timeless greatness of Hammerin’ Hank at his peak.
