In seeking to collect every Topps card of both players, including variations ( as part of collecting all Topps sets) I have had to pay more for Clemente in total than Kaline. Which I agree proves little as to this debate.
My most expensive Kaline is probably his 61 Dice card ( Clemente did not have one) or his rookie card. Kaline’s 73 “band aid” variation has gotten pretty pricey.
My most expensive Clemente is probably his rookie card, but his 68 3D is up there and is one of my favorite cards. I still need one of his 67 Punch Out variations and his 68 Disc ( have the 67). Also still need his 67 Stand Up to finish that set
Grew up in St. Louis and did see both play. Kaline in the 68 Series
Two great ball players, under or over
