I thought I would share my latest pick up (1957 Clemente PSA 7) with all of you. I started my Roberto Clemente Basic set project in late September of 08. I'm down to one card and it's a 1958 Clemente. This is my first registry set that I started.

    You can't go wrong with Clemente cards, best of luck on the last piece to the puzzle.

    Nice collection! I'm working on the Clemente basic set as well, and I'm about halfway there.

    I was the underbidder tonight on a very nice-looking PSA 7 '58. Hopefully I didn't cost you money!

    What did that card close at? It was at $211 with 15 minutes to go.

    $280.

    It shot up to $211 in like the first four hours after the auction was posted, then stayed there the whole week until the last couple seconds.

    Hi Bobby,

    Congrats on a very nice pickup!

    I agree with Fattymacs that "You can't go wrong with Clemente cards"!

    Vintage is definitely the way to go!

    Good luck finding that last puzzle piece to your set .... it's always the best!

    Thanks for sharing,

    PoppaJ

    Nice pickup Bob!

    I have to say - I've got very little in the Clemente area - good luck in picking up the 58T.

    I picked up the Clemente for my 63F set - it wasn't centered great but the price was right - would like to upgrade the centering some day.

    Thanx for sharing

    Very nice indeed!

    Also, last night on ch 13 WNET The American Experience was about Roberto Clemente.

    Nice doc.

    You did not, I was watching that card but did not bid. That was a very pretty 58.

    Walter do you need a 73 Clemente? I just sent that in with the groub sub. If you're interested LMK.

    Guys thanks for the kind words. It's been fun doing this.
