1972 Clemente...Need help...

[paulgrubor]

Hi, The card is the same size as his regular 1972 Topps card. The card I have has a shiny front and the back is white with what looks like perforations. What is it??

I'd guess an opc blank back...white stock and rougher cut than topps.

There was a test sticker issue that year and Clemente was in it. If that's what you have high book is $200.

I agree that this is more than likely what you have. Here is a link discussing the 1972 Topps Cloth Stickers:

Very nice card by the way!

Hey Bunker - your article says that it's the Clemente IA and not the regular Clemente that's part of the set and that seems to be the case after a quick look at a couple of other sites. Maybe someone who actually owns these can help.

This is the 72 sticker (not a nice one but an authentic one)



I think the one the OP showed is one of the many stickers available in 1998 or so when the Pirates hosted the all-star game. I live near Pittsburgh and it seems like these things were everywhere
