Crossing Off Clemente
One of these days, I'm going to finally get around to posting my favorite Topps baseball card designs. And when I do, the 1956set will be perched on top of the Topps Totem Pole. To be honest this particular set is in a league of its own and with each passing year the gap grows larger and larger.
A few months ago, I stumbled across the Roberto Clemente in the set and instantly wanted one. I targeted a few auctions and as luck would have it one fell into my lap for a reasonable price:
It's nice knowing that my JackieRobinson has some friends to keep him company. In fact... I'm hoping to add five more hall of famers from this set to my collection by the end of 2016.
I probably won't be targeting The Commerce Cometthis year... but I'd be super excited to cross The Splendid Splinter off my list. If not... The Say Hey Kid, Hammerin' Hank, or The Left Arm of God would suffice.
Happy Monday and sayonara!
