Don't have it with me, but mine is a 1963F Roberto Clemente.
1981, when I was 11 years old, my father and I went to a local flea market while my sisters and mother waited in the car. We always went to that flea market because there were 2 guys that had baseball stuff.
When I got back out to the car, being super excited, my mouth out ran my brain and said something like "Dad bought a Roberto Clemente card for $5!"
My mother was livid! At the time it was unheard of to pay that kind of money for a card! Haha
Sadly, my father passed away in 1985.
Many years later I remember telling my mother what the card was worth.
I had it graded by SGC a while back to make sure it stayed in exactly the same condition it was, even though it wasn't mint.
I know it's a high profile name, but I hope it fits the thread.
