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 5,450+ encapsulated examples! In 1965, Roberto captured his second consecutive batting title, with the Cooperstown inductee posting an outstanding .329-mark while earning his fifth consecutive Gold Glove Award of 12 straight. This HOFer will forever be best remembered for his cannon right arm, as well as his hitting superiority and his unfortunate and tragic 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 & sharp corners and edging, sparkling hues, and impeccable surfaces. This truly pack-fresh marvel certainly boasts all of the technical qualities and breathtaking aesthetics warranting its 9 MINT assessment!
