I have kept my New Year's Resolution into February...buy more Roberto Clemente cards. I won this in the latest Memory Lane Auction...and received it today (1/31) but didn't open it until now (2/1). It is just a print fish eye away in the word "Pirates" from a PSA-9.

    These arrived a few days ago but didn't open until this morning. (my favorite Bench card of all so I am super-excited for this one).

    These are fantastic! Nice pick ups.

    Some great stuff on day 1 of the month! That Clemente is just beautiful and I'm not sure there is a better card than 1976 Johnny Bench.

    I think that Bench is the perfect example of what a baseball card should look like. I love the dirt flying at the bottom.

    Are those cloth stickers in a holder that is different from the others? The cert # seems new, so is this a new holder?

    I pulled those out of a wax box that I bought early in 2023 (I like to RIP). I'd never done a cloth box before and had to check that off my bucket list. All were holiday specials.

    About half I submitted came back as Miscut which was a real bummer, because those included Rose, Carew and Fidrych rookies.

    Reminds me a little of the 65 Topps baseball design.

    Just purchased this one, hasn't arrived yet.

    Hard to believe how much rarer this is than the Topps counterpart.

    That’s a nice one, Joe!
