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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. image

    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? image

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
