Roberto Clemente Exceptionally Fine Signed 8" x 10" Color Promotional Photo (PSA/DNA & JSA)

12 time gold glove award winner and 3000 hit club member boldly signed color photo!

His legacy as one of the most gifted athletes ever to grace the baseball diamond firmly cemented, Roberto Clemente remains a popular representative of the Baseball Hall of Fame, not only for his on-the-field prowess, but for his successful humanitarian and civil service endeavors, as well. This vibrant S.M.I. Arco color photo, measuring 8” x 10”, features a candid smiling Clemente while sitting down. The photo shows a black facsimile signature across Clemente’s left shoulder. In blue ink, the Hall of Famer has executed his trademark, two-tier signature, which projects superbly against the stark white background of his uniform top. An extremely desirable, unpersonalized example! This signature would receive a "Mint" assessment from the most discerning collector. Impressive! Accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA) and PSA/DNA.
