Description

Graded and encapsulated by PSA/DNA GEM MINT 10. Offered is one of the prize signatures in post war baseball, a Roberto Clemente signature in perfect condition! This personal check, measuring 6 x 2.75 inches, is filled out and signed in fine black felt tip marker by Clemente, "Roberto Clemente," payable to the investment bank Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis for $1000, August 19, 1970. In Near Mint overall condition. The Pirates were off on August 19th in order to travel to Los Angeles, where their star outfielder had a remarkable series—Clemente recorded 11 hits in 16 at bats, along with one homer and five runs driven in. Clemente continued his typical excellence throughout the whole 1970 season, winning his tenth consecutive Gold Glove in right field and compiling a .352 batting average, the second highest of his career. This recently graded gem has the signature graded and encapsulated by PSA/DNA as GEM MINT 10.
