I got this beauty in the mail today, part of the Roberto Clemente master set I'm building. I couldn't believe how nice it was once I got it in my hands. When the seller said it was mint, they weren't kidding. This is at least an 8.5, maybe a 9. It looks like it just came off the printing press yesterday, but it's 40 years old.



The surface is flawless, the corners and edges are sharp, and the centering is magnificent.

This will look really good in a SGC holder.

I have been looking for the Mantle/Mays/Maris for a long time and it finally came up for sale as part of a set of what I thought would be all duplicates of stuff I already have. Fortunately, the seller included the color photo, which I have never seen before, and one of the other postcards ended up being a variation that I was previously unaware of. All in all a good purchase.

Stunning Clemente. My favorite card of his, as I am partial to action shots.

nice pick up Chris on that Mantle...i actually saw that last night and was gonna put in a bid, i felt it looked 'strong' went higher than a previous same one.
It was one of those oddball items, that i normally would of got, but passed on.

I got my Greg Businennau lots in just today and got my Hank Aarron RC a few days ago.

Very nice! That card is a bitch to find centered, too. Let me guess, though... the back is fairly OC. Pretty much every '73 Clemente I've seen has an OC back, regardless of grade (likely due to sheet placement, I suppose). Sweet card.

Feel free to let us know how it grades out...

Nice pickup Zach. Love that issue, and I think the price will only be going up as PSA expands its grading to magazine cut outs.

Chuck, ya the back is quite off center. Here's a pic from the auction.



I spent some time looking for one with centering on the front and back, but it only needs to be 90/10 on the back to not affect the overall score. When I send it in to SGC, I'll report back on what it got.

A couple more for the Lou Brock collection. The Red Barn is a variation, there is usually an address just above the "Make your own Sundae" and below the red area. The Big K Mart I think is mid to late 80's. I worked at Kmart during that time, and I think that is when they went to the Big K Marts to try and compete with Wal Mart.
