AWESOME LOOKING CARD! Do you think the slight "OPC-like" cut on the top border was one of the reasons it was only graded a "7"? If so, I'd take that card anytime! GOOD LUCK and ENJOY!
STAY HEALTHY!

The print dot doesn't really detract it's eye appeal, IMO.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

Very Nice card. I am actively looking for a Clemente right now myself. I am looking for a PSA 7, but I might have to consider going to SGC. Are you planning to cross it?
I think the total for the card was 2290, I plan on crossing it IN the holder to a PSA 7 or 7.5 IMHO it wont hit an 8 with that print dot...and in the SGC holder. Thanks fro all the kind words, I have been looking for quite a long time for this card, and if I do decide to sell my set I may just keep this one card.

Congrats on a sweet card. Crossing over I assume for your 55 set, or do you already have another?

From this card and a google search we learn Brooklyn lost Clemente over a few pennies

Thanks guys,
I don't think the PD is that big of a deal. I'd be more concerned with the faint black helmet.
The right side seems faint (er) then some that I have seen. What does it look like in hand?

that one is certainly on my wish list

Great eye appeal, definitely one of my favorite cards.
Congratulations
