Lot # 1211: 1955 Topps #164 Roberto Clemente Rookie SGC NM 7

Graded NM 7 by SGC. 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. The offered example displays beautiful colors, outstanding registration, and strong corners with light touches of wear. The reverse is lightly toned with boldly printed text. This is a fantastic 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.
