1965 Topps #160 Roberto Clemente PSA 9 MINT
ROBERTO'S FINEST!!! This remarkable PSA 9 MINT 1965 Topps #160 Clemente stands atop the PSA population report, with not a single GEM MINT 10 awarded of the 5,100+ encapsulated examples! In 1965, Roberto captured his second consecutive batting title, with the Cooperstown inductee posting an outstanding .329-mark while capturing his fifth consecutive Gold Glove Award of 12-straight. This HOFer will forever be best remembered for his cannon of a right arm, as well as his hitting superiority and ultimately his untimely death following the 1972 season in a plane crash while on a humanitarian mission to deliver supplies to an earthquake-ravaged Nicaragua. This remarkable Clemente offering reveals exceptional centering, a crystal-clear portrait pose, blinding white borders, pinpoint corners, sparkling hues, and impeccable surfaces. This truly pack-fresh marvel certainly boasts the technical qualities and breathtaking aesthetics warranting its 9 MINT assessment!
