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

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

    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.

  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    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!

    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:

    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.

  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    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.image

  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096


    << <i>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.

    Great looking 58 Jason. Be patient on the 66, it will come around.
  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    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. image

    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.

    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 image

    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.

    << <i>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.

  • JamieslimJamieslim Posts: 36
    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.
  • MBMiller25MBMiller25 Posts: 6,057 ✭✭
    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.

    image
  • JamieslimJamieslim Posts: 36
    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

      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,

      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.
