Pretty Good Example of Buying the Card and Not the Holder

SMR on a PSA 5 Clemente rookie is $700.00. However, a nice looking PSA 5 just sold for $909.00 here:

    One thing about the '55 Clemente is that it's darn tough to find a well centered one, regardless of grade.

    The 1st is well centered, especially for a 5. While $900 is a tad high, it certainlly deserves a premium over the two BINs.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Agree with stown. First one has more appealing pic, too, and was listed at a buck to start with a featured listing, which always seems to command more money than the BIN variety. And some have negative perception of Red Zone, too.

    Great looking card. I would pay that for it.

    Super huge amount of jealousy going on in my head right now about this card. I wish I had the time/dedication to look for such awesome Sub-10 vintage cards.
