1972 Daily Juice Co. Roberto Clemente Membership Card PSA 8 - An Uncommon Tribute to a Legendary Legacy

Issued as part of a regional promotional campaign by the Daily Juice Company, this 1972 Roberto Clemente Membership Card offers a distinctly personal and rare tribute to one of baseball’s most beloved figures. Unlike traditional trading cards, this piece functioned as a fan membership card—underscoring Clemente’s immense popularity and connection with the public during his playing days.

Graded PSA 8, this specimen is impressively well-preserved given its oddball origin and intended use. The surface remains clean and vibrant, the edges tight, and the centering strong for the issue. The front features a bold image of Clemente with graphic elements that lean into the era’s colorful aesthetic, while the reverse includes blank or promotional fields that make it a true hybrid between collectible and memorabilia.

Clemente’s cards from 1972 carry added meaning, as it would be his final full season before his tragic passing on New Year’s Eve. This rarely-seen card is not only a nostalgic keepsake for Clemente enthusiasts, but a unique bridge between sports fandom, grassroots marketing, and a cultural icon’s enduring legacy.
