Year: 2007

Set: Topps Moments & Milestones (Rate)

Card: #162-201 Roger Clemens


“ Hands down the dumbest insert set....ever......eeeeevvvvveer! The sheer number of small print run cards, pretty much all with th exact same photo. Stupid, stupid, stupid. ” -rmpaq5

“ Good thing Clemens didn't have other memorable moments or milestones mentioned on the card, else they'd cover up the front picture. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Wanna get a baseball debate going ,talk about the Rocket. Actually not a bad card. ” -uncaian

“ UGH I did not like these Moments and Milestones cards. Too many cards with the same ding dang design the only difference is the number for the stat. ” -captkirk42

“ This looks good. I am not a big fan of how much is taken out for the bottom info stripe, but since this /150 and it appears to be an insert of some sort, I don't mind. Color on the back wouldn't have hurt, given the nice coloring on the front. It is weird to see Clemens as an Astro. ” -muskie027

“ This set has 12,475 cards. Can you say OVERKILL!!! ” -carthage44

“ Ugh.. Hated this set way too many cards. Nice to see the Rocket. but nope not for me. ” -Mihome316

“ Cool card of one of my favorite pitchers of all time. I hope he makes it into the Hall soon. I've never seen this set before. Obviously not the flagship Topps set but I don't have anything negative to say. ” -Mitch

“ First impression: Clemens looks very large in this photo. Low SN which is cool (love #9!). Confused on the strikeout portion however; 201, or 218? Statline on the back lists it as 218, so what's the significance of the 201?? ” -jasongerman9

“ Great pitcher, great scan ” -hphillips

“ When his son was playing here in Lexington, KY, the rocket took the team to Best Buy and bought the players a bunch of toys that single A players usually can't afford. ” -UKboogie

“ First impression: Clemens looks very large in this photo........ ” -jasongerman9 .    Yes, he is a very large man in person.    He is 6'4",  supposedly played at 235 lbs.   When I met him, he seemed evern larger than 235.   Just a huge presence.

I know what you mean. I had the opportunity to meet Darryl Strawberry this past November, and he was absolutely massive. Crazy to see how large professional athletes really are!

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.
