Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Roberto Clemente
The 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente #164 is the English Topps base rookie card of Roberto Clemente. Collectors search for it because it anchors the 1955 Topps set with other major rookies and is condition sensitive in higher PSA grades.
Why this card matters
Verified factPSA CardFacts identifies the 1955 Topps #164 Roberto Clemente as the Clemente card that receives the most collector attention and places it beside the debut cards of Sandy Koufax and Harmon Killebrew as a major anchor of the issue. The broader 1955 Topps set profile describes a 206-card horizontal baseball release with Clemente among the notable rookie classmates. The card matters because it combines a first-year Topps baseball identity, a Hall of Fame player, and a visually distinctive mid-1950s set format. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factStart with the exact object: 1955 Topps Baseball, Roberto Clemente, card #164, English, base issue. The 1955 Topps set uses a horizontal format, and the Clemente card should not be merged with later Clemente cards, Venezuelan issues, reprints, archive products, or modern tribute cards. For slabbed copies, record grader, numerical grade, qualifiers such as OC, MC, or MK, and certification number. The relevant comparable is the same original Topps issue in the same grader and grade, not merely any Clemente rookie description. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe main observable differences are condition, qualifier, grader, and eye appeal. PSA CardFacts shows a steep spread between lower grades and the small number of PSA 8, PSA 9, and PSA 10 examples, while PSA standards make clear that centering, corners, surface, gloss, staining, trimming, recoloring, and other defects can change the grade outcome. A population count is only a graded-copy count; it is not a print run or a count of all surviving cards. [1][3]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For this card, compare the front and back layout, number, typography, stock, size, color registration, and aging pattern against confirmed 1955 Topps references. On a slab, verify that the PSA cert data matches the card, grade, and label, but do not stop there because PSA warns that genuine certification numbers can be copied onto counterfeit inserts. Avoid cleaning, trimming, recoloring, pressing, or any destructive testing. [1][3][4]
