This isn't valuable or perfect but I was a 10 yr old and loved the 71 WS
I thought Wayne Gretzky was The Great One?

Roberto's first home run was inside the park in 1955.
"My name is Roberto", he would say to Topps...
As alluded to in the post above, Topps finally re-recognized Clemente properly as "Roberto" in 1970 and, being this is one of my favorite Clemente cards, thought this would make nice addition to the thread. . .
I always hated the 'Bob' cards because it made him seem so ordinary. He was not ordinary at all.
hey gemint ,
Nice wax...
An amazing player who was also amazingly cool, charismatic and handsome.
