I started my Clemente registry set in late Septemeber of last year. I picked up the last card I needed which was this beauty 1958. I couldn't find one at the National for the right price, so I had to buy it of the bay.
I want to thank board member Jeff Myers who helped me reach my goal by selling me 3 to 4 Clementes I needed.

Cool. Stargell is my all-time favorite player. Please post pics along your journey.
Always plenty of PSA-graded cards in my ebay store -- https://ebay.com/str/thelumbercompanysportscards

Congrats on completing your Clemente registry set!
I had the privilege of watching Roberto play throughout his entire major league career.
What a horrible New Year's Eve it was in 1972!

On to the next one.

Pappa J, Unfortunately I never saw him play. He was my dad's favorite player which made Clemente one of my favorite players.
It was a sad day when his plane went down in 1972.
I still can't believe he was not on the all-time century team. What a joke.
BTW, I don't know if you subscribe to Mike Denero's Vintage Sportscards Newsletter (it's a free e-subscription) but I authored an article all about the '55 Clemente RC which will appear in the next issue.
You moved fast! Puts me to shame.
Very nice 58T.
Saw Clemente play on TV - wish I had taken the time to see him play in person.
I just looked at your set - very, very nice.
Good luck on the rest of your set!

Example, there are alot of guitar players in the world that have better technical skills than Jimi Hendrix, but none has ever touched his style and creativity (often imitated never bettered IMO).
Glad to have been able to help you out with a few you needed. It is a great set and one to be proud of.

<< <i>1979 Stargell is very tough guys. I have a 9 and a 8 so if interested let me know. Look at it's pop report. >>
I have a 79 stargell opc bvg gem mint. pop 1. Stargell and Parker are my two favorite players.
You can add me to the list of Clemente fans. He's the best ever Pirate player imo. Only Mays matched him in both offense and defense. He was still a dominate player towards the end of his career. Just watch the 71 series sometime. He was amazing.

Excellent analogy.

I never saw Clemente play but heard about him growing up in Pittsburgh - he had his 3000th hit on my 1st birthday. I wrote my college application essay on Roberto Clemente as my hero!
Completed my Clemente Basic Registry (2007 - 2014)!
