A mystery!

I purchased this scorecard a long time ago as a super early Clemente scorecard from Puerto Rico. It is dated February 3,1952.


After purchasing it, I was confused to learn that Clemente signed his first contract with Santurce in October of 1952.

It took me years before finding what I believe to be an answer. Before I share it, I want to ask readers here to offer their thoughts or facts to make sense of this.

Great stuff Howard as always!

I had a couple of opportunities to purchase this program (or one like it), but passed. Probably should have just pulled the trigger. It's a great piece.

Does anyone know why SGC will slab the Greiner Tire photo cards but PSA won't? (that's what I heard, and the pop reports imply it since PSA does not acknowledge the set at all)

Have no idea, I have never submitted anything for grading. Did not know PSA wouldn’t grade these.

Using the same photo as the Greiner Tire, this Jay Publishing photo seemed to be one of the tougher Jay photos for me to obtain. It just isn't offered for sale as often as some of their other photos.

Now, 1968, and yes, the one on the left is still sealed.

I'm 100% certain PSA did not slab Greiner Tire cards and SGC did, as of Jan. 2017 (I got a SGC 70/5.5 Clemente graded at that time). I think it might have to do with slab size, but not 100% sure. I called PSA and they gave me a reason in a follow-up email, but I now forget the reason

Wow, love the Tony Oliva/Clemente combo (Tony Oliva is another favorite of mine)

This next item once belonged to Lou Boudreau. It is signed to Lou by Paul New, who was the vocalist and also the composer (?). Purchased directly from Lou's son.
