This was the last card I need to complete my Clemente Basic Set. I splurged a little on this card, as it just looks so darn nice. I am hoping it might be a candidate for a BUMP, and then I would be in the card for a much better price point. As for the set, I really didnt focus a lot on staying within one grade, but tried to acquire high eye appeal, well centered cards. I still might upgrade a couple cards down the road if I find a nicer card in a higher grade, but as of today, its complete. I apprecaite the help that a couple board member gave me, in either selling me cards, or PM'ing me to let me know about high end cards. You can find a link to my entire Clemente Set in my Signature line.

    Excellent way to finish! That is probably the nicest looking '64 Bob PSA 8 I have seen. Congrats!

    Great card job, Matt. I'm glad you finally snagged that particular 8. A real beauty.

    Thanks guys, I don't think anything new is on the horizon for me in regards to a new project. Just don't have much of a desire right now for anything card related, outside of Musial. So will just stay on the lookout for Musial items I might not have, or otherwise just watch what unfolds on these boards and try to contribute where I can. Thanks again for all the kind words. Will update in regards to whether this card bumps or not.
