Default 63 Fleer Clemente

Well, this one has a bit of a story behind it... When I turned 30 six years ago my older sister surprised me with this card.... She doesn't believe in paying big $ on a little piece of cardboard but I was really into collecting (still am but keeping things in perspective) and so she got into a bidding war--think she paid around $100--and gave me a large box with ribbon etc that ended up having a raw 63 Clemente she bought on eBay.... I was stoked!

(She did always have a physical attraction to Roberto so I think that helped her make an exception....)

Unfortunately, a couple years later it came back trimmed so I sold it... This card kinda had a black mark since the first one was altered...
So recently, I saw this one decently priced and picked it up to replace the original.. Also my b-day is coming up in a week so the timing couldn't be better....
