Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1967 Topps Baseball set consists of 609 cards. Card fronts feature large color photographs bordered by white, while the player's name and position are printed at the top with the team identifier at the bottom. Each example (with the exception of #254 Milt Pappas) carries a facsimile autograph across the front. The most significant "Error" is #45 Roger Maris, with the New York Yankees instead of St. Louis Cardinals, the team to which he was traded, while variations include Checklist #191 (with Willie Mays pictured with either a headshot or head-and-neck pose) and #454 Juan Marichal showing the Hall of Famer in one of two shots - with and without a left ear.
Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker was a Puerto Rican professional baseball right fielder who played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After his early death, he was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973, becoming both the first Caribbean and the first Latin-American player to be enshrined. Because he died at a young age and had such a historic career, the Hall of Fame changed its rules of eligibility. As an alternative to a player having to be retired for five years before eligibility, a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry. Some of his many career highlights include being a 15 time All-Star, a 12 time Gold Glove winner, two time Worlds Series Champion and an NL MVP in 1966.
