Best Clemente card

That would be awesome.

I agree that the Clemente 68 3D is a holy grail card as a Clemente collector. I'm probably only 2-3 cards away from having all the ones I want (a few kahn's and the'68 3D). Unfortunately the '68 3D is one I may never own given its scarcity

The 1967 Topps Standup is the Holy Grail of Clemente cards. It is the only card weighted a "10" on the PSA registry. The next highest weight is 7, including the 68 3D and 62 Sugardale cards.

For sure, the 1967 Standup is more scarce. PSA Pop 2, vs. PSA Pop 49 for the 1968 3D

I think the 1968 3D is a beautiful card, one of the most beautiful ever made in the hobby, mainstream or not. I don't think the 1967 Standup is as aesthetically pleasing, but for scarcity it is certainly at the top of the grail cards.

To each his own. I have always thought the 3D was ugly. I prefer the stand up, sugar dale, kahns, etc.

I like them all, except that yellow one Bob likes

Yep. A good example for me is the Topps Venezuelan cards from the 1950's and 60's. I know they carry high value because they are so much rarer and are much harder to find in any type of condition, but I've always thought they were ugly as hell. Especially the ones into the later 60's where what is white paper on normal Topps USA cards is downright brown on the Venezuelan cards.

I was gonna call the 56 Topps "card porn," but somebody beat me to it. Also echo others in loving the photo on his 72T.
