Thanks, guys. I was waiting for one without the print marks or reverse staining. And this one has such a lush image. I'm really happy with it!

Awesome Maz PC, Phil. He looks like he is on his high school team.

I got a few trinkets:

Great card! That was my 1st Clements card too. I really wanted one of him after reading about him as a kid.

The first card my dad bought me was a '72 Clemente back in 1986, the pinnacle of my collection. Your son will never forget it!

Thanks all for the comments. My son loves baseball, and at 3 1/2, he already loves the classic players. He wants to play baseball in the house everyday, and has a lineup of players he pretends to be (Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, etc.). His two favorites are Clemente and Jackie, which I think is great because their legacy goes well beyond the game as well. Definitely a lot of fun - and it’s always great to see people’s reactions when they ask him who his favorite players are.

Mike - sweet ’53 Glendales - that Owen Friend presents very well!

David - awesome Gibson RC pickup!

He's awesome! I was that way at about 8. Read every baseball bio in the kids section at our library. There is so much more now to enjoy with the internet. He'll be a historian by the time he's 10!
