The Official Roberto Clemente Basic registry

BPorter26 · February 16, 2010 4:15AM

I'm very surprised there is not official Clemente basic registry thread. I decided to make one. Guys show off your Clemente's.

Congrats on the upgrade...

Here is my only Clemente from my HOF set...Donato

MBMiller25 · February 18, 2010 9:03PM

Amazing card, bobsbbcards! I'm not nearly as impressed with my '72 anymore.

GDM67 · February 24, 2010 8:32AM

All Clemente cards are inherently cool.

BugOnTheRug · February 24, 2010 9:08AM

Would somebody buy these please..............you're not going to find centering much better than this.........

1967 - $165 delivered
1972 - $85 delivered

BPorter26 · February 25, 2010 10:09AM

Bobsbbcards, Sweet rookie. Great looking card.

Sweet cards guys from one of the best. Here is mine.

Here is another one of my favorites of him. This one is a double if any of you guys need.

WOW!! Absolutely beautiful. You should send that in for review.

Jeff,
Nice Clemente poster. PSA really seems to grade these and other Football posters very harshly. Your PSA 5 looks much nicer. Is there a problem with it that doesn't show up in the scan? It looks like a NM poster to me. I don't see any tears, rips, pin holes, or other than the usual folds.

WalterSobchak · January 21, 2012 8:11AM

This beauty showed up in the mail today. I had been looking for a PSA 8 copy of this card that I liked for more than two years, and never found one. I am looking no more!

BPorter26 · January 21, 2012 8:45AM

Jason..... WOW what a great looking 63, talk about rich and beautiful color. Outstanding pickup

MBMiller25 · January 21, 2012 11:59AM

Your two year wait was well worth it! Hell of a nice 63!

WeekendHacker · January 21, 2012 12:20PM

After a year, this thread is getting some much needed love. Hard to say which Clemente I like best - but this one ranks high on the list:

ThoseBackPages · January 21, 2012 12:28PM

GO BOB GO!

WalterSobchak · January 21, 2012 1:03PM

It's a flurry of Clemente basic set activity!!!

Darin · January 21, 2012 1:06PM

I bought this 58 from BPorter. The 64 is one of my favorites.
Sorry my scans are bad.

WeekendHacker · January 21, 2012 1:07PM

Here's another gem:

MBMiller25 · January 21, 2012 11:21PM

Fresh from trip back from Newport Beach, I was hoping this would bump again to a 8. I did get my 64 Clemente bumped from 8 to 8.5! This is my favorite.

WalterSobchak · January 21, 2012 11:32PM

Matt, I will never get tired of seeing that card. Stunning.

Edited to add: Congrats on the '64 bump! No wonder you didn't want to sell it to me.

WalterSobchak · February 3, 2012 12:59PM

This isn't new..... just one of my favorites!

BPorter26 · February 4, 2012 9:15AM

Jason..... I love your '58. Great card!!!! Do you have a rookie yet?

WalterSobchak · February 4, 2012 10:44AM

<< Do you have a rookie yet? >>

Nope not yet. The rookie is probably a few years away, since I'm going to want a 7 or 7.5.
I'm guessing that either the rookie or the '66 will be the last one I need, when it comes down to it. I've never seen a '66 that would make me happy for sale.

MBMiller25 · February 4, 2012 9:24PM

Great looking 58 Jason. Be patient on the 66, it will come around.

WalterSobchak · February 5, 2012 12:51AM

Thanks for the encouragement. The fact that I finally found the right '63 (even if I had to pay through the frickin' nose for it) gives me hope that someday the right '66 will come along.

Really nice PSA 7 Clemente rookies don't appear to be all that hard to find; they're just incredibly expensive.

MBMiller25 · February 5, 2012 2:05AM

<< Really nice PSA 7 Clemente rookies don't appear to be all that hard to find; they're just incredibly expensive. >>

Yea and they keep going up. That was a $2000 card when I first started looking for my Clemente. You can't touch a 7 for $2K any longer.

svtPONY95 · February 6, 2012 1:11PM

My favorite Clemente !

nightcrawler729 · April 1, 2012 6:54AM

Finally got my very own Clemente rookie...

BPorter26 · April 1, 2012 7:59AM

Congrats on the pickup that's a nice looking 7

nightcrawler729 · April 2, 2012 1:19PM

Thanks! I wish I had pulled the trigger on your 1958 Clemente earlier this year...

WalterSobchak · April 2, 2012 1:29PM

I was neck-and-neck with you on the Clemente basic registry.... but you just left me in your dust! Great pickup- congratulations!

nightcrawler729 · April 7, 2012 1:25PM

Thanks Jason. It was one of those times I was able to not get distracted by so many other pieces of cardboard. I lost out on a few Clementes and still regret not getting BPorter26's 1958 Clemente

Jamieslim · May 22, 2012 8:24AM

Has anyone noticed the prices on 56 Clemente PSA 8's
I have not seen one go for less than $1000 on eBay this year.

Jamieslim · May 23, 2012 11:29AM

I got this Clemente at a show in Feb.

MBMiller25 · May 23, 2012 11:30PM

<< I got this Clemente at a show in Feb. >>

Jim, Its nice to see that you found your way to the boards. We met at the Feb (Metrolina Show). We had a long discussion at Greg/Ed's table about our Clemente sets. Very nice RC. Nice to know 33% of the 7.5 populations reside in Charlotte. Got one in transit that I will post in the next few days, that you will appreciate. Again, Welcome to the boards.

Jamieslim · May 24, 2012 12:05AM

Thanks Matt. I remember talking with you in Charlotte. It is cool that 2 of the 7.5 are in Charlotte. I have been in the registry sense 2005 I regret taking so long to get on the message board. I look forward to seeing your Clemente. Also my Clemente rookie is the one Craig had and I gave up too much! But I love the card.

MBMiller25 · May 24, 2012 6:13AM

New Addition to my modest Clemente collection. I regretted selling my 56 when I sold off some of my Clemente cards, and have always really wanted the tougher gray back, as mine was the white back. I paid a hefty price for it, but really happy to have this card back in my collection.

Jamieslim · May 24, 2012 9:51AM

Matt, Great card it is hard to find one with perfect centering like that. I know what you mean I traded my 56 Clemente PSA 8 in February along with a couple other cards to get the 7.5 Rookie. But I was lucky and Craig still had it at the april Charlotte show and I bought it back. Here is my 56

Jamieslim · May 26, 2012 3:13AM

I won this Rookie on eBay last month

Frozencaribou · May 26, 2012 9:51AM

Great cards, everyone. Matt, I'm glad you got a new '56 to replace this one:

I'm still looking for PSA 8's for 1955, 1958, 1959, and 1971 to complete my basic set in 8's. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Nathanael

BPorter26 · May 27, 2012 12:28AM

Great looking cards guys. There's days I regret selling off my basic Clemente set, but I did keep these for my PC.

orioles93 · May 27, 2012 12:38PM

Heres a couple Clementes I have scanned at the moment!

gtrwzz · May 28, 2012 3:54AM

Great cards everyone!! One of my favorite players when I was a kid......

MBMiller25 · May 28, 2012 10:20PM

Nice Clemente RC, presents a heck of a lot better than a 1.5.

I love the 73 card, I will pick up a 9 sooner or later.

I need that white back card now Nathaniel, so I have the pair. Will find a white to pair with it one day.

Jamieslim · May 29, 2012 10:07AM

One of my favorite Roberto Clemente cards. I sent it for review but no bump.

orioles93 · May 29, 2012 1:26PM

Jamieslim · May 31, 2012 8:23AM

Just got this Clemente in the mail today.

MBMiller25 · June 1, 2012 9:36PM

Really nice 59 Jim!
