Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Baseball Roberto Clemente 1996 Topps Finest Tribute Insert Collection 7 Cards Unpeeled
This is a collection of seven (7) modern commemorative baseball cards featuring Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates. These cards are part of the 1996 Topps Finest Roberto Clemente Tribute series, which recreated iconic vintage Topps designs using premium Chrome technology. A highly desirable feature of this lot is that all seven cards retain their original Topps Finest Protector peel-off film, preserving the high-gloss surface underneath. The lot includes three cards featuring the 1968 Topps design (labeled Bob Clemente), two cards featuring the 1963 Topps design, one card featuring the 1962 Topps wood-grain design, and one card featuring the 1971 Topps black-border design. The 1971 design card exhibits a distinct prismatic sheen through the protector, suggesting it may be the Refractor parallel variant. All cards are standard size and printed in English by Topps.
Condition report:
These cards are ungraded (raw). Centering: The 1968 and 1962 tribute cards appear well-centered. The 1963 tribute cards show a slight left-to-right bias. The 1971 tribute card is significantly off-center toward the left, resulting in a thick right-side border. Corners: All visible corners appear sharp with no significant whitening or blunting. Edges: Edges appear clean and crisp. Surface: The surfaces are protected by the original factory film. While the film itself shows minor storage-related scuffs, the Chrome/Refractor surfaces beneath are expected to be in Near Mint to Mint condition. No creases or bends are visible on any of the cards.
