A fascinating combination: a rookie image signed just 13 days before his death. As the date on the bottom white border indicates, Roberto Clemente signed this 3- by 5-inch rookie postcard (VG-EX) just 13 days before he was killed in a plane crash. The juxtaposition of a hopeful Clemente just beginning his Hall of Fame odyssey and the autograph (7.5/10) he wrote near the end of his life journey gives one chills. This could be a poignant and valuable entry in your collection.
