Thanks everyone. I'll just stick with the magnetics.

I'd agree. Waste of time & money. Magnetic one touch holders look great and are protective. That's all the slab would do ... Protect. The grading is unimportant IMO.
Great cards of an awesome player. As always, I wonder what records he would have destroyed had his life not been cut short.

Well he was 38 so he probably had 3-5 years left if he wanted to play into his 40's. He could have easily hit 3500 hit mark. However he had his time cut short in the previous few seasons due to injury and the move to Three Rivers may have been rough on his leg. And with his charity work he more than likely would have only played 2 more seasons but there is no telling.

I never got to see him play except on video but he was amazing. Growing up close to Pittsburgh, Pirates fans are pretty classy and respectful(Steeler fans are another story). And they still have love for Clemente.
