Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Only one example grades higher out of 4,717 cards evaluated to date by PSA. Stunning and unbelievably ultra-high-grade example of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente from the 1971 Topps set. The 1971 Topps set is prone to many different problems, including centering issues, print quality, and especially corner and edge chipping. This card is essentially perfect in all respects. The centering is near-perfect. All four corners are sharp. The edges have virtually no wear or chipping. Crisp and clean, front and back. This is a world-class, ultra-high-grade example of Roberto Clemente from one of the most condition-sensitive sets ever produced. Opening Bid $10,000.
