What will this Clemente Grade?

BPorter26

I've started building the Clemente Master Set and I have had this card since 1972. I've decided to get it graded at the National since it's a very low pop card.



A tape stain on the back.







Edit: Forgot the pics

Bobby,

Nice card...what is it? My guess is 6ST.

Good Luck.

Jeff, Thanks! It's a 1971 team issue card. My dad picked up at a game in 1972 at Three Rivers Stadium. I also have a Willie Stargell.

If it's a low pop card it's just due to people not sending them in yet. It's very common and if you're going to the National you'll have a dozen to choose from in much nicer shape than yours for less than what it will cost to grade. It looks creased at the bottom but that doesn't matter much because the tape damage on back will kill the grade to a 1 or 2.
Here's a recent Ebay sale on a PSA 6 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130396138893
Here's a whole set at auction but the Clemente is OC http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150465213443

The sentimental value of your card is priceless. The grading on site is expensive and if you're looking for something that will grade high then your money would be better spent on picking up a nice raw one. There is a Stargell currently on Ebay too in a PSA 6.
