Love the wood panel '62s. And this is one of my favorite of all Clemente Cards. So tough to find the HOFs in high grade condition. I am really excited about this one... Hope you enjoy!

    Nice, I don't think I want to know the Population or VCP on something like that.

    I do believe that is the nicest 1962 Topps I've ever seen.

    I had it reviewed yesterday for a bump to 10. PSA pointed out two print defects that kept it from Gem mint. They are really, really small red circles. One is on his mid bicep the other is on left of his cap (about at the level of the bottom of "P." Honestly, I had to really strain to even see them close up in hand. Seems kinda picky, but this is why there's only one 10 in this card.

    HOLY SH*T ... that card is AWESOME! I thought the only possible flaws (and I am pushing it) would be the slightest touch to the lower right corner and the "fisheye" on the black part of the "paper fold" about 3/4s of the way down on the right side of the card.

    Don't even want to know how many thousands you paid for that and could not imagine how many thousands more it would be worth if it got bumped to a "TEN".

    CONGRATS and ENJOY!!!!!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    If it were a common, it would be in a PSA 10... One can find a flaw in even the most perfect card. The insignificance of the flaws pointed out sometimes are laughable.

    I would love to see this one side by side with the only PSA 10. My intuition tells me there's a good chance this one has fewer flaws.

    Amazing purchase. Hope you enjoy it.
