(LOT 587)
1967 Topps 5th Series Unopened Cello Pack w/Roberto Clemente on Top (PSA Mint 9) - "1 of 2; Highest Graded!

Here is one you don't see very often! This incredible PSA "Mint 9" 1967 Topps 5th Series Cello Pack just happens to include Roberto Clemente (#400) on the top of the unopened vintage pack! Remarkable to say the least, PSA has only encapsulated a single other PSA "Mint 9" 1967 Topps cello pack w/Clemente residing on the top, with this pinnacle offering sharing the spotlight as the finest of its kind!

Even more impressive is that this offering once resided in the Hal Steinbrenner collection, with our consigner obtaining it from industry leader Steve Hart of BBC Exchange who confirmed its prior Hal Steinbrenner provenance. Most significantly, the Clemente card itself reveals atypical near-perfect centering and sparking hues, and one can clearly see that no notable flaws have invaded its factory issued gleaming surface. Near-immaculate to say the least, its sheer existence almost defies logic, with the possibility of a Pete Rose #430 subject also included in this seemingly "timeless" and ultra-rare cello pack that truly stands as one of Roberto Clemente's most amazing cardboard keepsakes!
