1969 Milton Bradley Roberto Clemente PSA 8 – A Rare Oddball Issue of a Legend

The 1969 Milton Bradley set was issued as part of a board game, making it one of the most distinctive oddball releases of the era. Unlike mainstream Topps cards, these feature a simplified design and were often heavily handled, making high-grade survivors difficult to find. To have a card of Roberto Clemente, one of the game’s most iconic figures, in this format gives collectors a rare glimpse of the Hall of Famer outside his standard Topps run.

This example has been graded PSA 8, a testament to its remarkable preservation. The card displays clean edges, sharp corners, and excellent centering, traits not often found on these game-issued pieces. The black-and-white portrait of Clemente remains bold and well-printed, while the surface retains its crisp finish with minimal signs of handling.

For collectors, this card offers the perfect blend of uniqueness and star power. As one of the greatest right fielders to ever play the game, Clemente’s presence in this unconventional issue makes it a must-have oddball gem for those building a Clemente run or seeking standout pieces of late-1960s hobby history.
