UPDATE WITH GRADE & PICTURE--Picked up a Near Complete Run of Clemente Topps Cards

Yesterday I purchased a near complete run of Roberto Clemente Topps cards. I have all of the base cards except for 1963 and 1964, and I have many (but not all) of the All-Star, League Leader, and multi-player cards. I also got a few Bazookas, a 1962 Topps Stamp Panel, a 1969 Topps Decal, and a 1970 Topps Super.

Any opinions on what they might grade? This is a sampling of the earlier years; I haven't finished putting them in new holders yet. I thought of sending in the 1955 and the stamp panel.

    Not sure on the grades. There are some centering issues but they are very sharp and have great eye appeal. Good luck!

    The 1961 Topps Clemente is o/c just like so many other Clementes of that year. Same thing with 1961 Topps Aarons and others. What's the deal?

    By the way, love the Bazooka.

    Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.

    UPDATE--I sent the rookie into SGC because they are running a really good $25 next day special, and I found out today it graded a 5.5. Will post scans when it comes in next week.

    Congrats! Clemente's rookie is a classic. One thing - we know that to get the half grade bump with PSA, centering is usually the key for that. What gets the half grade bump with SGC?
