55 was a gorgeous set, Koufax and Clemente might have the best looking of the big star Topps issue rookies. Guess which card is the one I need to finish my set 55 set?
Kaline's rookie was a lot cheaper. I think Clemente has outsold Kaline primarily on the strength of his death, more than race reasons. The racial line is, I think, more relevant today and will alone keep Clemente higher than Kaline, but not so much when the price gap started. While I think Kaline is a hair better, Clemente deserves a popularity bonus for his death. Not because he died young, but because he died doing the right thing when he didn't have to do anything.
