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.

If you would have asked 10-11yo Rob70sCards who is favorite player of all time was, he probably would have said Roberto Clemente.
I had the 72 Kellogg card as a kid. I don't remember how I got it, but was cracked up really bad, with some of the reflector coming off the card, but I loved it! Stared at it for hours it seems, my only real Clemente! It's one of those cards that takes you right back to being a 10yo kid. Love the 72 Topps. I just got that a couple months ago myself. That 1963 Fleer is really nice too. I had no idea about that set.

I'm breaking the rules here but its a risk I will take. Although its not a baseball card, nonetheless, this Clemente type I PRE-MLB Debut 1955 Spring Training photo is cool and a bit more fun and more rare than any of his cards.

I think his 1956 Topps is his best looking card. If I had to have only one of his cards in a collection I want to see the 1956.

I'alike to nominate the 1967 Topps Clemente. His cards almost always show him as stoic. I think this is a nice portrait of a great ballplayer in his prime. Even a hint of a smile.
