Offered is one of only two examples of Roberto Clemente's game-used bat card from the 2005 Donruss Champions Impressions issue to ever grade PSA 10 Gem Mint. Clemente famously collected exactly 3,000 hits before his tragic death on New Year's Eve, 1972. Although he was already 38 years old, he showed no real signs of slowing down, and its an interesting question to consider how long he might have remained active and productive in Major League Baseball. Another interesting thought to ponder: how many of those 3,000 hits vibrated through the little piece of wood embedded in this card? Like 'em or not, game-used bat cards are pretty cool when you consider their pocket-sized energy.
