I think its this card and not TCMA:

1977-84 Galasso Glossy Greats #41 Roberto Clemente


Check Galasso Greats on Ebay.

Yeah, the set is recognized as being issued by Renata Galasso, though TCMA actually did the printing. And for the record, they are not any more glossy than your average 1981 Fleer card.

That card books for $2.50, being graded by some company I've never heard of does not make it jump to $20.

I would just buy it here or trade for it down the road.

honestly i dont know why ive bid on that card, and frankly the next day i was glad someone over bid me. but i wouldnt ever spend the 3 bucks at comc for it. so i will pass on this card just to many things add up to be a smelly fish.

The set is great, for what it is, a collectors issue. Kinda of a cool retro style, similar to the 60 Leaf cards. I came across a bunch as a kid and still have many of the originals I had then, today, along with mint sets. I remember taking white-out and covering the copyright date of 1977 on the back, thinking they would appear older (I didn't do this to be dishonest or malicious, I was maybe 10 at the time..that is how we collected in the earliest days..laminating cards, cutting off borders, whiting out reprint and years on back to make the cards seem older)

They would either sell them through their catalog or give them out as freebies with purchases.
