2016 Topps Epic Gold 1/1 Clemente

[butchie_t]

An entirely niche product that Topps created. I have a couple of the anniversary ones only because a particular variant was included with it. Other than that, they don't invoke much overall interest for me to try to complete a set or subset of them.

I have a bit of a hard time seeing a 60's card of any sort truly being a 1/1 just because Topps slapped a gold stamp on it. But, others will and that is ok.

Regardless, a very nice Clemente card for sure.

I find them to be cool oddball cards and will pay a very small premium for them.

If that card is worth maybe $50 in that condition, I could see it selling for around $200 with the Topps buyback 1/1 stamp on it. Maybe $500 OBO is the best way to sell?

Player collectors will look for them, but no, they aren't part of registry sets because PSA only will grade cards that are checklisted, and Topps RARELY (not never) puts out a list of the buybacks they release. Plus, there have to be at least three or five of any specific card spec for it to be eligible for a PSA registry set. You can't grade a 1/1 and add it to a registry set just to make the set impossible to complete.

that makes sense. I was probably thinking more "player collector" than registry anyway but my fingers typed before I thought through it...I used to chase limited modern Yaz cards and I should have known better

I may have been in shock from realizing i sold my T206 Steve Evans way too soon....

how did a 2016 card end up looking like an original clemente from 1965?

It is an original Clemente with a new foil stamp added by Topps to make it a rare 1/1.
