I also agree with Dan, I'm a little skeptical of the whole thing. It's funny how every card was OC with the exception of the Clemente.

Even if the card were only graded a 7 PD, it would still probably reach $5000 but the corners look stronger than "NM." I was trying to be conservative in my estimate. The last two unqualified 8s to sell in auction realized over $35K and $44k. The Clemente rookie has risen considerably in value over the last two years as have many other key rc's from the 1950s.
I haven't opened any cellos from 1955 Topps but I have opened wax packs and the centering does indeed vary so yes, I would say that the Clemente could definitely be a legitimate card in that sequence.
