Image Memory Note
The image depicts a 1972 Topps Hank Aaron #299 baseball card, encapsulated and graded by PSA. The PSA label at the top of the slab reads: '1972 TOPPS HANK AARON #299 VG 3 109012784'. The card itself features a color photo of Hank Aaron in a home batting pose, wearing his white Braves uniform, dark sleeves, and blue 'A' cap. The card design features a bold, multi-colored 'BRAVES' script at the top, with a yellow, red, and green rainbow arch motif characteristic of 1972 Topps. In the lower border, 'HANK AARON' appears in block font inside a yellow box. The card is centered and appears free of major creasing but, due to the PSA 3 grade, likely shows moderate wear at the corners and possibly some surface marks or mild discoloration. There is some residue or scuffing on the exterior of the PSA slab just below the red label. No writing or marks are visible on the card's image side. No reverse image or back-of-card details are visible in the provided photo.
