This 1957 Topps Roberto Clemente features a flawless, bold blue-ink ballpoint early 1960s vintage signature. The signature shows up bold and strong, even against the dark background and rates a "9-10". Clemente-signed cards are almost nonexistent. He is, in fact, one of the rarest of all modern legends to find signed on a baseball card. This is a beautiful example worthy of the most advanced autographed card or Clemente collection. It would be virtually impossible to find a more impressive signed example of Clemente's classic 1957 Topps card. The card is 70/30 centered and in VG-EX condition. It also has the words "May 25, 1963" written in blue pen on the back, indicating the day the card was signed. The signature has been authenticated by PSA/DNA and arrives slabbed in an "Authentic" holder.
