That’s a great piece Howard!!! |
Noticed an ink stain on a 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente "In Action" card is actually a signature. PSA charges over $150+ to authenticate anything of Clemente so looking to hear any thoughts prior to submitting. I'd posted on Instagram a couple of weeks ago, but most people just messaged with offers to buy it rather than any information, so hoping this is a more appropriate place to get answers. And given that he died in 1972 -- generally wondering how many 1972 Topps cards he might have signed that are out there?
Not sure why the photos won't upload, but I placed them into a public dropbox folder so the links should work. -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1675gaa3b...mente.jpg?dl=0 -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/vd5et8ukfk...ente2.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1675gaa3b...mente.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vd5et8ukfk...ente2.jpg?dl=0 |

I am not clear on exactly what information you are looking for? Legit 1972 Clemente signed cards are uncommon - there are 5 regular issue (#309) 1972 authenticated by PSA and 3 copies of the card you have #310. One of the signed #309's sold in 2011 for about 7k - see below link. https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...a/7041-80368.s Assuming you believe yours to be authentic (which I have no opinion on as I am no expert in his autograph), I think having it authenticated by PSA is a no brainer. If it comes back authentic and you want to sell it then I would think a high profile auction would be the way to go. If there is something else you wanted to know - just ask. Howard |
Until a few weeks ago these were considered to be pretty rare. I know I paid dearly for mine and still felt lucky to have one. This seller changed that. He said he bought an estate in Arizona and there were "many" of these in a box.

Here’s an item you rarely see (actually the only one I’ve seen). It ended recently on eBay, and unfortunately was well over what my snipe would have been. Maybe a board member won it. Thought some of you would enjoy seeing this.

I missed it!!
I know the winner - he emailed me this morning. Sadly I also had the seller of the box "saved". Just never saw it till I saw his email this morning. Also the only time I've seen this item.

A bunch of great Clemente items on ebay
If my posting this info here bothers anyone let me know and I will not do it again. I just listed a bunch of great Clemente items on ebay:
Willing to work out a deal off ebay for anything with no bids. Ps. For those who may not have heard: We lost Vera Cristina Zabala Clemente on November 16th - RIP Sweet woman - condolences to family and friends. |
Not sure if any of you collect print error cards but avoid this Clemente like the plague. There is a 99.99% chance it is faded and the .01% it is real is walking through the door on the way out. 1958 Topps fade the yellow off very easy and this has all the signs of being sun faded. Especially the dirty looking area that should be yellow.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-Topps-...4AAOSwx-lcCEHd I am selling a REAL missing yellow Clemente so was looking to see if there was anything listed on eBay when I seen this thing. |

Ben, I think I’m in agreement as to the faded 1958 Topps card. |
Here’s a newer purchase. Have never seen another, and didn’t know it existed until I saw this example. Surprised by the relatively large size as it measures 25” x 30” unfolded.
