1959 Topps #478 Roberto Clemente PSA 9 MINT - Highest PSA Example!
HIGHEST GRADED EXAMPLE!!! Similar to the great Roberto Clemente's rightful standing as one of our National Pastime's premier all-time players is this sensational PSA 9 MINT 1959 Topps #478 gem that proudly stands tall as the finest of its kind! Incredibly, the PSA graders have handled some 7,500 '59 Topps Clemente subjects, with not a single 10 existing on their prestigious pop chart. The Steel City's HOF right fielder could hit, throw, run and field as good or better than any player of his time. This extraordinary offering presents itself in pack-fresh fashion, with its sparkling portrait pose, radiant yellow background, sharp corners and immaculate surfaces retaining virtually all of their original luster. Yet, the feature attribute for this heirloom is the excellent centering that only reveals a modest partiality towards the upper edge, with most examples revealing poorly positioned images.

MIN BID $3,500
