Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded NM+ 7.5 by PSA. Extremely attractive high-grade example of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente's rookie card. One of card collecting's 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 striking example displays bright colors, outstanding registration, and strong corners. The reverse is clean with boldly printed text. There are a few tiny surface indentations along the reverse noted strictly for accuracy. This is a superb example of one of collecting's most famous cards and would be a worthy cornerstone to either a high-grade 1950s Clemente card collection or a world-class collection of classic baseball cards. Opening Bid $5,000.
