Finishing his tragically shortened career at exactly 3,000 hits, Roberto Clemente will forever close out the list of immortals that make up the exclusive 3,000 hit club. Roberto Clemente was such a beloved hero that Topps included him in the 1973 series despite his passing on New Years Eve of 1972. The featured item is a GEM MINT specimen from his final season with virtually every characteristic at the peak of perfection. Only 16 examples are graded PSA 10 out of well over 3,000 submissions. A truly magnificent and befitting example of an amazing baseball player, national hero and humanitarian.
