Roberto Clemente – 1955 Topps

Clemente was brought into the Hall of Fame following his outstanding performance as a Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder. Tragically, following his 3,000th career hit, his life was taken in an airplane accident. The magnificent record and terrible passing of the man resulted in a boosted investment in related paraphernalia. 2012 saw a mint 1954 Topps rookie card made of Clemente hit nearly half a million dollars, with a grade 9 special of his reaching the half-million dollar mark even closer in 2016.
