If you're a "Bob" Clemente enthusiast, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find a more desirable example of card #326 from the 1960 Topps set that this PSA 9 stunner. The 1960 Clemente card stands out as one of the most important, as after several unremarkable seasons, "Arriba" posted a breakout season, reaching new career bests in homers (16), RBI (94) and a .316 batting average while leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a World Series championship. Though just slightly positioned toward the horizontal northwest, this card offers unbelievable pack-fresh GEM MINT qualities, from it's nearly flawless endpoints to the plethora of deep color and overabundance of rich factory gloss on the surface. A pleasing rough cut along the top and bottom edges adds to the allure. Without a single PSA 10 on the books, this beauty is unquestionably one of the very finest examples extant.
