1960 Topps #326 Roberto Clemente PSA 9 MINT - Highest Graded Example!
BEST OF THE BEST!!! Boasting near-impossible-to-find centering, this PSA 9 MINT 1960 Topps #326 Roberto Clemente subject truly resides as a bona fide anomaly. Currently, over 7,000 Clemente 1960 Topps examples are listed on the PSA Pop Chart, with not a single specimen boasting a PSA 10 GEM MINT assessment! By 1960, Roberto Clemente had established himself as one of baseball's premier ballplayers, with the line-drive hitter posting an outstanding .314 batting average while belting 16 round-trippers and knocking in 96 runs. This would be the first of eight consecutive seasons that Roberto would eclipse the .300 mark, with Clemente also notching his inaugural All-Star game appearance (the first of 15 All-Star nominations). His sparkling batting poses (colored and black & white) combine to highlight the breathtaking aesthetics, with their vibrant hues, crystal clear clarity, and the aforementioned textbook positioning. Pack-fresh surfaces, pinpoint corner tips, a brilliant Pirates team logo, and vibrant orange and blue background settings are the final compliments justifying why this PSA 9 marvel shares the spotlight as the best of the rest!
