I have to say, I sort of agree with this. (my top 10 notwithstanding). I love this one for

1) the mixture of photo/picture
2) the fact that it's his sole Topps card
3) he's a on-field and off-field legend
4) I'm from Cleveland and in 1948 he went 6-1 down the stretch to win the pennant, and he drew the largest baseball crowds to that time to a baseball game (a doubleheader with the Yankees, upper 70Ks attendance)
5) It's an uncorrected error card
6) It portrays a now-defunct team (the Browns, though I know they moved)

My top 10 has nothing to do with value, I'm a Detroit Tiger fan so all my top 10 picks are Tiger cards, with a slant towards the 1968 Tigers that I grew up with. If you asked me tomorrow, there would probably be some different cards in there, but here's my picks for today.

Here is another list, I will keep my list to the Topps and Bowman companies:

1. 1954 Topps Ernie Banks (favorite card of favorite player)
2. 1953 Topps Willie Mays
3. 1954 Topps Hank Aaron
4. 1953 Bowman color Mickey Mantle
5. 1953 Topps Satchell Paige
6. 1958 Topps Roberto Clemente
7. 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson
8. 1957 Topps Mantle/Berra #407
9. 1959 Topps all of the Sporting News All Stars
10. 1957 Topps Ted Kluszewski

That went way to quick... I could probably make 10 other lists, each with different cards

Nice to see somebody else pick the '58 Topps Clemente, Nate.



This card gets me every single time I look at it yet. Roberto was not yet Roberto. Though he'd finished third in batting in 1956, 1960 was his breakthrough season. 1961 is when he became a superstar.

I still think Clemente is the most underappreciated star to ever play the game. People give him credit, but generally view him as a step below Ruth, Aaron and Frank Robinson in right field. No way.

From 1960 until 1972, the end of his career, a span of thirteen seasons, he was a .330 hitter that amassed 2,318 hits (most in all of Major League Baseball), a fifteen time All Star (two All Star games in 1960, '61 and '62), and a twelve time Gold Glove Award winner.

Add to that, he was hitting/playing during one of the most dominant pitching eras ever.

Even though he died before I was born, Clemente was probably my favorite player growing up... and became my favorite to collect when I really got into cards.

Really enjoyed reading and seeing everyone's favorites.

edited because I sold a few of these, but I replaced the Jim Thorpe with this one, which I will include along with my favorite Mantle so Bill's post still makes sense.
