Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded VG+ 3.5 by BVG. Attractive mid-grade example of Roberto Clemente's rookie card. One of card collecting's greatest classics, Clemente's rookie card is the key to the 1955 Topps set, and one of the most popular of all postwar baseball cards. This card is bright and crisp, with centering towards the left (image is slightly tilted), and modest corner wear. Light unobtrusive crease on the right edge (also visible on the reverse) noted for accuracy. Clean reverse. This is a solid example of Roberto Clemente’s rookie card, one of the most important of all classic 1950s cards. Reserve $500.
