Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among more than 2,700 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just eleven examples have been graded higher. A dazzling example of Clemente's second-year trading card, this specimen is a thoroughly pleasing representative of its type. Four well-shaped, barely touched corners and a printmark-free image (rare in this issue) accentuate the high-quality character of the offered item. The creamy cardstock reverse is also notably clean and attractively printed. Clemente's career was tragically cut short, but his legend lives on through attractive mementos like this one—the potential highlight of any 1956 Topps set or collection. Near Mint to Mint condition.
