I'm pretty happy to add this one to the collection. Most people have an angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. Roberto was so cool, he just had himself wielding a bat. :p

Really, really awesome Clemente Chuck. One of the best that I have seen.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it!

Other than the NM corners, the only real flaw is the green background is slightly off register, creating a thin yellow line that surrounds the green background (ie. the yellow and blue that combine to make the green background are off register).

Seeing that yellow line kinda makes me wish the Topps would've done a partial outline on the design of all of the '55s(while still leaving the right side lineless). Sure it's printing flaw, but I for one, find it very aesthetically pleasing...
