Got my 1963 Clemente from Memory Lane the other day. Paid a premium but I liked this card.

Jamieslim · September 6, 2012 11:27AM

That is a great looking 63 Clemente. Cards that nice are worth a premium.

Warren, excellent looking Clemente. That's the next one on my add list. Well done.

jay0791 · September 6, 2012 8:31PM

great 63

I have noticed lately that high end cards r going well over vcp.
If ur not willing to pay a premium on popular cards then u r not getting it.

very nice

Just picked up my first Clemente in quite some time. I don't have it in hand yet.
Looks like the corners might be a little weak for an 8- but centering and image are more important to me than corners are, and I had yet to see a '66 that made me happy in those areas. I think I'm going to be happy.

MBMiller25 · September 7, 2012 3:52AM

Another very nice Clemente! I remember that 66 being a pain the rear to find centered and without tilt. I'de give up corners for centering and no tilt as well.

Jamieslim · September 12, 2012 11:31AM

Great 66 Clemente it is hard to find one centered like that.

Mickey71 · September 12, 2012 12:05PM

The image on the 66 is outstanding.

Jamieslim · September 13, 2012 6:19AM

I just got this 59 Clemente

pdub1819 · September 15, 2012 12:58AM

Nice '59.

I just upgraded my '60 from a PSA 6 to a PSA 7.5. I'll post a scan one of these days when I get my scanner up and running. That being said, if anyone needs a '60, I have a PSA 6 available.

Jamieslim · September 21, 2012 11:31PM

I just got these Clemente's back from PSA.

nightcrawler729 · September 28, 2012 12:20PM

I just purchased this from MBMiller25 - thanks Matt.

WalterSobchak · November 19, 2012 7:40AM

15 down, 5 to go.

Jamieslim · November 19, 2012 8:39AM

That 64 Clemente is awesome one of my favorite years. It looks nicer than an 8 well done.

WalterSobchak · November 19, 2012 9:04AM

Thanks. The scan makes it look like the color is just a little bit washed out- but when I got the card in hand I was very happy to find that's not the case at all. There are very few cards in my collection nicer than this one.

Jamieslim · November 24, 2012 3:12AM

I just got this Clemente Rookie. This card looks better than any 4.5 I have seen.
It looks better than most 5's.

WalterSobchak · November 24, 2012 6:23AM

I agree that it looks nicer than most 5's. I don't see a whole lot wrong with that card.

Very nice pickup!

nightcrawler729 · March 26, 2014 5:33AM

After almost 9 years, I finally completed the Clemente basic collection yesterday (current rank #15) Whew! Thanks to everyone on the boards who sold me theirs

Jamieslim · March 26, 2014 11:10AM

Awesome! Congrats on completing your set

WalterSobchak · June 19, 2014 7:52AM

This showed up in the mail today. It had been quite a while since I added a new Bob, and it'll probably be quite a while before I add another one. But as soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it.
And it just so happened that the first time I saw it was on quad bucks day, which pretty much sealed the deal.

RookieHOFers · June 19, 2014 9:37AM

Nice Bobby, Jason. I was wondering if you were still doing this set. Nice pickup

Matt

WalterSobchak · June 19, 2014 10:06AM

Thanks Matt! I'm still very slowly plugging away at it. Someday I'll plunk down what a crappy used car would cost and snag a nice, centered '55.

You still have that '63F that I bought from you, then later traded back to you?

ashabby · June 19, 2014 10:32AM

Nice card working on that set myself. Only need the 55 topps of him to complete the set

BPorter26 · June 19, 2014 10:51AM

Jason, that is a pretty card. Congrats on the pickup.

jay0791 · July 2, 2014 7:54PM

Very nice hi end 63

pdub1819 · July 9, 2014 2:07PM

Just rescanned my Clemente's and wanted to 're'share.

Thanks for looking.

Now that I am giving these a fresh look, I might have to upgrade a few. I'm still looking for a nicely centered '65 PSA 8 at a good price.

wilkiebaby11 · March 3, 2015 2:30AM

I'm from the Pittsburgh area and I'm starting this set.

Let's bump this thread up!

DanBessette · March 4, 2015 11:58AM

Love the player, the man, and especially his '56 card. One of my faves.

pdub1819 · March 28, 2015 11:50AM

I just upgraded my '72 to a PSA 9, so I'll be selling my PSA 8 if anyone is interested.

DanBessette · March 28, 2015 12:03PM

P-Dub, I've told you this before, but it's amazing to see your whole basic set together in one place. Thanks for sharing!

pdub1819 · March 28, 2015 12:09PM

<< <i>P-Dub, I've told you this before, but it's amazing to see your whole basic set together in one place. Thanks for sharing! >>

Thank you. I've decided to upgrade some of my Clementes... The goal being to have all of them (except his rookie) in PSA 7 or better.

DanBessette · March 28, 2015 12:13PM

If I were you, I wouldn't upgrade that 65. What a beauty!

pdub1819 · March 28, 2015 12:34PM

<< <i>If I were you, I wouldn't upgrade that 65. What a beauty! >>

I've been looking for a PSA 8 forever... Even if I get one, I'm going to keep the 6.5.

pdub1819 · April 3, 2015 11:45AM

Here's my new 1972 Clemente in a PSA 9.

Still looking to possibly upgrading my '59 and '62.

wilkiebaby11 · April 10, 2015 12:44AM

Well, I never thought I'd win this lot... but I did. Looks like I only have to buy his RC now (and maybe do a little upgrading).

I already have a handful, so I'll have some dups.

DanBessette · April 11, 2015 11:35AM

Wow Steve, what an awesome win!

pdub1819 · June 6, 2015 1:12AM

Here is my latest upgrade to my Clemente set.

I do have a 1959 PSA 6 available for sale if anyone is interested.

pdub1819 · June 19, 2015 10:36AM

Latest upgrade, a big thanks to Jeff (cardcountry)

DanBessette · June 19, 2015 1:29PM

Great card! Centered so much better than your 7. Your Clemente basic set is one of my very favorite player registries I've seen on the CU boards. Thanks for sharing!

GDM67 · June 20, 2015 2:48PM

That is a really beautiful example of the '61 card.

pdub1819 · July 4, 2015 2:51AM

Thank you both for your kind words. I think at this point, I'm going to try to get my overall PSA grades to average between a 7.5 and 8. It's going to be hard, because some of his cards are quite expensive in PSA 8.

Nonetheless, here is my latest upgrade. Very happy with this one and I was able to take advantage a 4x eBay bucks offer to get it.

jay0791 · July 11, 2015 1:15AM

Blazer of a 63F

Ebay 4X bucks sure does help

wilkiebaby11 · July 29, 2015 4:48AM

Picked this guy up from Greg Bussineau auction. I'm down to only needing 63,65,66,68,70,73 to complete his Topps basic issues

BPorter26 · August 18, 2015 5:43AM

Sweet cards gentleman. I would love to continue to see more of the Great One's cards. Today he would have been 81. Happy Birthday Roberto! I know this is not a part of the registry, but since it's his birthday I would like to share.

Paul.... nice to see that you're upgraded this awesome set.

pdub1819 · August 18, 2015 8:52AM

Bobby,
That auto is awesome!!! One day.... In the distant future... I'm going to get a nice Clemente auto.
How do you plan on disaying the item?

QUITCRAB · August 27, 2015 10:25AM

Any Clemente collectors have a 64 bazooka panel or a full 71 bazooka box for sale ?
I know there is one of each on eBay... I need good borders on the 64 panel and the 71 box is way ,way overpriced
Thanks. Scott

BPorter26 · August 29, 2015 7:19AM

Paul... That's a sweet Fleer Clemente. I'm thinking about starting the set again.

I would love to see more people post their Clemente's . Go Bucs!!!

DanBessette · December 20, 2015 7:54PM

Man, that is an UNREAL 7 !!
