Loved Clemente, about as talented and fun to watch as anyone.
But I'm a Koufax guy. My father, a Yankee fan for life, took me to see him pitch in Shea Stadium in 65 or 66. It was a doubleheader and Koufax won the first game. Then, when it was over, my Dad did something he'd never done in all our trips to the ballpark, he said "Let's go." I was disappointed to leave before the second game but he explained that we'd seen Koufax pitch and nothing that day could be as good.

Cachet
When it come to these two players, even the sound of their names has a certain cachet. But I give the narrow nod to Koufax.

I think they are both legendary athletes. Koufax, in my opinion, has an undeniable panache and personifies baseball's California cool. However, its Clemente hands down in my house. Baseballs sportsmanship and community service award carries his name. There are also 45 schools and 200 parks named in his honor in places ranging from Puerto Rico to Germany. He is a transcendent figure in baseball and is the Jackie Robinson for generations of Latinos like me. If Jackie Robinson is MLB baseball's conscience, Roberto Clemente is the games patron saint.

That is a tough call - apples / oranges.
I never saw Koufax play. I caught the last few years of Clemente's career. Clemente's career last much longer and more quality years, Koufax had about 4 or 5. Both were great in the post season. And were winners on teams that otherwise would of been long forgotten.

Collectability?
Clemente. Value? Clemente His legacy will always be more than of Sandy. Therefore, demand will always be higher. Just my opinion of course.
