The 68 Dexter press is his most attractive card in my opinion.

Another personal favorite is the 64 Kahn's.

Also love the 71 Bazooka.

Bill explained exactly why the '73 card is my favorite:

I'm always thankful that he made it to the World Series a second time so everyone could see what a special player he was.

To me the most aesthetically pleasing to my eye is the 1972 Topps #309; love the '72 design as well as just a cool looking picture of Roberto.

Now, you gotta love the Topps test disc and the '68 3D! Doesn't get much better than those...

All of these cards are great !! Mine would have to be the 56 Topps and 64. Love the colors on the 64.

I don't know why but I always liked the '63 Fleer Clemente. He looks bigger than life despite the simple design. I have always been drawn to this card?

68 3d is my favorite hands down, but my dream card would be the catch on the 56t done in 53' Bowman color style so it would show like the Peewee Reese.

That would be awesome.

Todd, the '63 Fleer is another of my favorites. I almost fished a picture of it off the web, but I'd posted three pics already.

You nailed it. The design is simplicity incarnate; it allows for all the focus on "The Great One" himself.

As far as fantasy cards go, put me down as one that wished Clemente had a '53 Bowman. I can only imagine how gorgeous that card would have been. Why didn't he start baseball just a little earlier?

I few from my Clemente PC that you don't see everyday. As much as I like Topps, I feel other companies/products did just as good of a job capturing Roberto perfectly.

Mike-- we have a member here that has the prototype autographed 67 Pin Up poster. Only one I have seen. The 67 Stand Up seems scarcer than the 3D. There are two photo versions of the 67 Punch Out captain card. I am still looking for the second one.

The 68 Action strips in full 3 piece panels are getting harder and harder to find too. And are hard to scan. I had to buy a large art portfolio album for those and the 69 Team posters sets
