The 1956 Topps issue is one of the most popular of the era, and the last of the larger-format card issues before Topps adopted the size now considered to be standard with its 1957 issue. This White Back version of the #33 Roberto Clemente card from the set is one of the keys to the issue and certainly in high demand. 

This example features Roberto's warm smile in the foreground, and an action shot of him making a leaping catch at the right field wall in the background. Centering is just a hair north on the horizontal canvas. Strong edges and nice corners add to the presentation. Some light surface abrasions cause minor color loss in a couple areas, with minor staining in the top left corner explaining the card's technical grade. Nevertheless, brilliant colors and illustrations on both sides give this card tremendous eye appeal.
