Lot # 2943: 1956 Topps #33 Roberto Clemente White Back SGC MINT 9 - 1 of 4 - Highest Graded!

Graded MINT 9 by SGC. Of the more than 2,000 examples of this card SGC has evaluated to date, only four have achieved this grade, with none graded higher. Extraordinary example of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente from the classic 1956 Topps set. This card displays brilliant colors, outstanding contrast, four sharp corners, and incredible centering. The white back is entirely clean with bold printing. 1956 Topps cards typically suffer from a variety of condition problems, including print defects and a tendency to have soft corners, which make high-grade examples particularly difficult to find. This is an exceptionally attractive high-grade example of one of Roberto Clemente's most classic cards from one of the 1950s most popular sets.
