As for the OP,
Honestly these are more valued on the market than untouched cards by modern collectors. This is why the buybacks are faked as they sell for a premium. As for the Clemente, even in poor condition I would conservatively expect it to sell for roughly 100-250% more than a 65' in similar condition if auctioned and listed properly on eBay.
Also, these like all one of ones cannot be placed in a master set, so do not count toward one (you can add it simply to show you have it, but they carry no points and will not be part of the master checklist). As for player collectors, many including myself chase buybacks of their players.
Similar exemplars -
1961 at roughly 250% Premium - https://www.ebay.com/itm/25622921798...Bk9SR_rSxvGLYw
15 cent 1987 card selling for 50 bucks - https://www.ebay.com/itm/23484866649...Bk9SR_rSxvGLYw
Keep in mind, none have the magic "1/1" in the embossing so the profit margin is indeterminate with the demand of Clemente.
