What is everyone's favorite Clemente card?

I do not have a Clemente card in my collection, and It is time to change that!
I am having trouble deciding which one I like best; right now 61T and 62T would be my front-runners. Just curious as to which one is the favorite of other board members and why? Feel free to share pics too!

Thanks-
Michael

    1968 Topps 3-D... nothing comes to mind for a close 2nd....maybe the 1971 Topps (black border) Clemente

    I like the 1972 card #309 because it shows a relaxed shot of him, looks like he is having fun. I also like the 1970 and 1972 issues. There are several good cards of him from the 1960s, but its weird to see "Bob" on the cards imo.

    Wow, that 72 is stunning! Since 72 is my birth year, it may be a fun one to get onefor myself, but my budget will be more in lines of NM-MT 8...hopefully I can find one with strong centering!

    Although it came back an N4, I still hold out hope that maybe one day...

    My favorite is his 1973, probably because it was the first Clemente I ever owned, bought it at a card shop when I was 10 years old for about $5. I don't still have the original card, but here's my replacement.

    This was my first thought also and I'll stick with it for standard size, though I'm debating now with several oversize like: 64T Giant, 67 Dexter, 70 Super, 72 Pro Star.

    Clemente’s my favorite! I was about to post each one I have, but I’ll leave these three right here....

    The 65 is why I started collecting... had one in 4th grade and never forgot about it. Check out my registry for the rest.... specifically his rookie!

    Don’t own one either, but love the 56 and 73 Topps issues.

    Regular issue, it is hard for me to choose one over the other, but my 2 favorites are 1971 and 1956. But my absolute favorite Clemente is the 1964 Topps Giants issue.

    My fav is 71. I own 68, 71,72, 72 IA and 73 (all collected in my youth) and would love to add a few more, led by 56, 62 and 70. Clemente was my favorite NL player and I'll never forget his performance in the 71 World Series.

    I've always liked the 64 topps.

    Let's be honest though, did Roberto Clemente ever take a bad picture.LOL.
    All of his cards look good, he was a photogenic guy.
