1958 Kahn's Clemente PSA 6
I am a HUGE Clemente collector. I saw the card raw for the first time at the first Robert Morris College show I set up at. It was offered to me by its owner at ~20% over book. I was very new and naïve in the dealer role and tried to offer him half book - he laughed and said if that's what I was offering, I didn't know what I was looking at. WOW was he right. I came to learn over the next couple of years that the 1958 Kahn's is far and away the most difficult Kahn's Clemente and one of his most difficult cards in ANY condition. The condition that one was in was not to be believed. It was later purchased by a friend from the dealer who was smarter than me at the time. My friend had it graded - it came back a 6 - still the only 6 with none higher and one of a handful graded. In a moment of insanity he sold it to someone else for A LOT of money. He has been trying to buy it back since. Ouch that hurts! Not as much the money as I had it in my hands (literally) and let it walk away the condition it was in would go nicely with the rest of my Kahn's cards!
