Which 56 Clemente to keep

[wdwfan]

I'd keep the PSA card. IF you ever have to sell it, it will be easier to move and would sell for more. Plus, it's slightly better centered than the SGC.

I agree with the centering and the general view of resale, however, note that your PSA has a sort of 'print spot' that appears as if a freckle on his neck. It's a fairly common occurrence for the issue if you search existing and old listings and look at enough copies, but it's not supposed to be there as I am pretty sure he didn't really have a freckle there!

I am not sure if enough people notice the oddity to harm resale, but I once had one like that and I got rid of it in favor of one without.

And not incidentally I recall during my listing that one inquirer noticed it and asked about the spot. I explained what I thought. (They did not end up buying, but someone else eventually did...)

Offload both and get a nicer one?

Not that I'd do that myself, but it's a possibility.

I’ve thought about it, but my 56 set is pretty firmly ExMt and I like consistency. In any case, I’m trying to build up some cash to chase a Goudey Ruth.

The centering difference jumps right out at me so I'd keep the PSA one.

Ignatius ~!
I knew your posts from BO, didn't know you were here also. (but I'm not here combing every thread, so theres that)


I have a bright idea.

You know I'm a Clemente collector, so why don't you sell me either one you don't want for $150.
Then you can apply said $$$ towards a Goudey Ruth.
Jokes aside sir.


Everyone likes the PSA example because of the centering, (Err, so do I) but I personally love the SGC Clemente, the overall cleanliness and brightness is amazing.
You might remember from a few of my posts, I like the "overall look" of a card, not "strictly" the centering, but we all have our wants/likes.
I'd likely be happy with either one of these to be honest.

I find myself continuously asking myself a question (and I kinda wish more collectors would ask themselves this)....
That is "What would I think if I were to actually pack pull this specific card right now upon opening a pack, regardless of year and issue?"

The answer is (for most of us, if we are brutally honest) that we would be extremely happy with this card. Or in this case, either card.

If you want to move either one of these, keep me in mind.

We're I looking to buy one of these, I'd pay more for the PSA card because of the centering.

Choosing between these two cards is a good problem to have.
