About Hank Aaron
Aaron's series-4 base card #320 carries his 1961 line on the back, and card #394 places him in the National League All-Star run. That season was one of his most complete: .327 with 197 hits, 34 home runs, 120 RBI and a .381 on-base percentage, plus league titles in doubles with 39 and in total bases with 358. Milwaukee slipped to fourth at 83-71 in 1961, then finished fifth in 1962 at 86-76.
Henry Louis Aaron broke in with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954 out of Mobile, Alabama, after a brief stop in the Negro American League with the Indianapolis Clowns. A right fielder who batted and threw right-handed, he spent 21 seasons with the Braves and two with the Milwaukee Brewers, retiring in 1976 with a .305 average, 3,771 hits and 2,297 RBI, still the major-league record. He won the NL batting title twice (1956, 1959), led the league in home runs four times, and took the 1957 NL MVP award as the Braves won the World Series. A 25-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, he was called Hank by Braves public relations director Don Davidson, who thought the shorter name made the quiet young star more accessible; teammates turned it into Hammerin' Hank. On April 8, 1974, in Atlanta, he hit his 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth as the career leader, a record he held until 2007 while enduring racist threats throughout the pursuit. Aaron finished with 755 home runs and holds career marks for RBI, extra-base hits and total bases. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982, his first year of eligibility, with 97.8% of the vote, and afterward held Braves front office roles, including senior vice president. He died in 2021.

Graded population — a scarcity guide, not a price. Snapshot 2026-09-24. Half-grades fold down (8.5→8), and PSA's qualified grades are counted separately from the straight-grade rows shown here. Slabs of the three cards printed #139 are joined by description, never by number alone. PSA registers the green tints as a separate set; a tint's population is listed under that state of the card it belongs to.
