By virtue of my purchase of a complete set 2 weeks ago, I now own 2 of these, one of my favorite Clementes of all-time. There is just something about that pose: The empty Three Rivers Stadium, and Roberto poignantly considering his lumber. The colors also work very well here with that Pirates uni, the gold cap, and the perpetual design oddity that is 1971 Topps. Guessing this one would check in around a 6, maybe a 6.5 as it is nicely centered side to side. My other ‘71 #630 is a PSA 6 that is not quite as well centered s-s, and while still fine - does not have quite the color pop that this one has.
