Great statue Howard! Thanks for sharing

Mike this has been one of my favorite threads on Net54. Thanks for sharing your amazing collection. That Tuscany statue is awsome. This is the first time I have ever seen one. I saved my most rare piece for this day for obvious reasons. I purchased it a couple of years ago and paid far too much. Nonetheless, it was produced in Venezuela and is the only one I have ever seen. Thanks again for a very fun thread. I hope you and Howard continue adding to it.


Mike

Hi Mike, long time, no hear. Thanks for sharing that incredible pennant! Have never seen another. I have overpaid for many things, but if it makes you smile, that’s all that matters.

Day 365


Finally made it to 365! Even though this is the end for now, I will definitely revive the thread from time to time, as I continue with the collection. I hope to see more items from Howard, Mike, rats and any others who want to share. I always enjoy seeing rare items, especially items I haven’t seen before.

I want to thank all those who contributed to the thread and for all the kind words along the way. I truly appreciate it and hope you’ve enjoyed the ride.

I started this thread with a painting my neighbor had created for me, gifted to me by my oldest daughter. And, in the hopes of not being anti-climactic, I’m going to end with another painting. While it’s no Kreindler, this was painted by me during my brief (VERY brief) attempt at “creating” Clemente art. I painted it in 2000, the fourth and final Clemente piece I did. The others were mostly laughable, but I thought this one turned out okay. So without further ado, here is my creation...

Hey Doc, I just want to say thanks for a great thread for the year. I've read every post and looked at every pic, and I don't even collect Clemente.

Thanks Randy, much appreciated!

Clemente
 

Mike,

I have very much enjoyed the ride. This past weekend I went through all of the posts “again” and had a nice time in review. Such fine Clemente items being shared with other collectors. Thanks so much for the time spent sharing your collection as well as all of the others who have added their items as well. Made for such an enjoyable year. This was a thread that I looked forward to viewing on a consistent basis; thank you.

By the way I really like your painting. That is a very cool and unique style you have there; keep it up.

I’ll look forward to other items being added periodically as well. Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Slow, building golf clap for Doc's efforts in this thread...turning into a thunderous standing ovation by year's end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done, sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mark & Darren, and thanks for helping breathe life into the thread at times!

A few more....
 

One of these I think I may have posted before - the Youth Symphony Album - The rarest of the items ( A ticket and program are the other items) from this one day event.
Next up is the original art from Clemente's only painted Sporting News Cover. Then an uncut 1970 Kellogs sheet with CLemente and A complete corn flakes box from 1970 featuring an image of Clemente on the back.

Hi Howard,

I was about to post my first "image by request" suggestion, then it occurred to me maybe it's already in the thread and I missed or forgotten it--or that others will run into the same problem in scouring 90+ previous pages of material... so I am currently cut/paste building a comprehensive text list of everything here for quicker reference. (I know the site has a basic search function of course, but I've had limited luck searching forum-based sites using keywords, because it's laborious and fraught with various search inconsistencies like spelling idiosyncrasies, etc.).

Anyway, I hope what I'm doing will prove useful to someone and end up being somewhat less onerous than every individual going back over every page one by one looking for an image of one particular item. (I'm about 1/4 finished and figure it will take quite a few more hours.)

That is a great idea and a laborious undertaking! I always thought it would be nice to have a community album for threads like this. Thanks for all the time and effort.

(just to bring this issue to completion)
Yep to the size guess apparently, since the Greiner set just recently hit the pop report, presumably permitted for grading now due to the recent addition of the 8x10 size slab that's been suggested for so long...

Hi Howard,

(apologies to all for now digging up the older thread entries, but seeing as I'm going through them on by one for my project, new things are surfacing)

So, your '52 scorecard which you acquired 'long ago' seemed earliest to you like you mentioned, which made the description from this 2009 Leland's item seem lame, since they added to the lot title "Earliest Known": https://auction.lelands.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=48357

But then I came across this 2005 Leland's item which is a '50-51 scorecard and they report references Clemente (though the image file is too small for a proper look to me), which suggests 2 things, 1) that their lot description writers in 2009 weren't doing as much diligence as they could even researching their own records and 2) about his playing in '51, further bolsters the evidence in the questionnaire you captured: https://auction.lelands.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=22172

(ok, it suggests a third thing too, for your scorecard, but let's not dwell on that)

Howard, love the original artwork. Where did you find that gem?

Wow!
 

Awesome research Mike! Don't really care if mine is the "earliest" - great to see a couple of other really early ones out there - no surprises regarding due diligence by AH's - I know a number of times I have consigned, they have relied on me for history/provenance.

Doc - Years ago Mastro had a sale with a whole bunch of the original art for the SN painted covers - I had the Seaver (subsequently sold it) and the Clemente - hanging on my wall!

Very well said, and my exact sentiments as well.

Thanks, Doc! :)

...about halfway there...

Hi Howard,

Given your reluctance described above to slab your regular size complete Bazooka boxes, have you reconsidered that lately in light of the new "jumbo" size PSA holders, where I presume they would fit? Or do we even know if that's how they have switched to handling them?

Will not take the chance
 

I will not even get started with all my frustrations with PSA - they are adequately expressed in numerous other threads. I and most who look at the boxes know exactly what they are AND how nice they are - don't need a 3rd party opinion for me. They also seem to have a different grading scale for the bazooka boxes - as I have submitted some nrmt-mt 20 piece boxes that have come back with grades between 4 and 5 - a complete joke.
Further, I suspect till someone points out to them that the boxes might fit with unfolded flaps into the larger holder, they would continue to put them in the smaller holders! That said, I expect to see (and ultimately submit) some additional larger items (mostly team issued stuff that they will likely mislabel if they choose to holder them at all).

cataloguing question
 

Hi docpatlv,

Would you be able to measure this item (pasted below) that you posted described as "large" to compare whether it could be the same issue that Howard posted on pg 39 post #389 and described as 7x9?

No problem, I’ll try to get a measurement later tonight.

Empty,

Mine measured 7x9. Hope that helps

I forgot to ask, was that b/c you don't care for Cracker Jack, or you had just acquired them before posting to thread and deemed that eating decade and a half old food would not be a wise move?

No, I purchased them in 2004, and bought more boxes than I care to admit. The Cracker Jack was a throwaway because I never really cared for the taste. Now if it had been Crunch n’ Munch, that’s a different story :D

I dug through my 71 Pirates mess to look for this one. Does anyone know how many of these were in the set? I have Stargell, Clemente, May, Hebner, Alley, Sanguillen, Grant, Oliver, Blass , and Cash. I noticed that the Clemente, Oliver, Sanguillen, and Stargell images were used to produce PM10 black box buttons.

this post about '69 pin reminded me of CU thread...
 

So, the pics above clearly show the difference b/w the original and the reprint pins: for one, Clemente's face is different and eyes are looking in a different direction for obvious sake...

Now, take a look at this CU forum thread where it was discussed that someone made a $5000 boo-boo when they purchased a reprint at auction that is slabbed as the sole PSA Mint 9: https://forums.collectors.com/discus...mment_11686941

The cert still shows active, for a PSA collector that has about 50 active sets, including the top MLBA Pin set for 2016-2017 (including the reprint item naturally). So either he doesn't know it's a reprint (which seems hard to fathom, since with so many others he should be a resident expert), or chooses to pretend not to know in order to compete higher toward the top spot?...Or, new theory, so many of his high-end pins are all reprints so much that he wouldn't actually know the difference between them??

Anyway, anyone have the know how and/or motivation to set PSA straight on it? (owner doesn't appear to compete in the Clemente registry so the reprint doesn't directly affect the ratings list, aside from reducing those who would otherwise have the highest rated real one) [I myself don't have any].

Well, at the very least, you would think that both PSA and the auction house should know better.

Strongly suggest not diluting this thread with PSA problems
 

The first and arguably most high profile card that PSA graded (the Gretzky Wagner) was trimmed by Bill Mastro - admitted under oath in court - PSA has never done a thing about it - everything after that - fruit from the poison tree. PSA imo has clearly shown in many cases they just don't care.
I have tried communicating with them in the past about getting things added/changed/deleted from the Clemente registry - always an uphill battle - they recognize transogram and bazooka boxes cut into pieces (single/panel/box/side panels, etc.), but choose not to recognize legitimate printing variations on the 1969 Nabisco (wide and narrow border variations), 1962 Salada coin (180/200 variants) and Bazooka box size variants (20 and 25 piece boxes)! They make their best guesses at the 1966-1971 color team issue cards (getting it wrong plenty), but will not slab a legitimate 1956 and other team issue photos. The 1967 Topps test giant standup is "optional" on all player registries EXCEPT for Carl Yastrzemski. I will not even get started with their grossly flawed weighting process. They would be better called PSI - Professional Sports Inconsistencies. So - fix a counterfeit pin that they slabbed when the owner doesn't care........good luck.

All done!
 

I finished the whole catalogue and will post it shortly, on the next page. Meanwhile, seeing as for the moment I'm the only one with a catalogue of what's already included in the thread and so can infer what can be added, I thought I would try one here:

I didn't know these were a thing until I can across one on eBay, and they're more modern so I'm sure not particularly scarce, but seeing as they seem to have had only the single print run? it was a more interesting memento than the more common yellow-postcard variety that is still readily available on the Hall site...

Catalogue for the “365 days of Roberto Clemente” thread
 

Welcome to the Catalogue for the “365 days of Roberto Clemente” thread.

Following a few notes on the purpose, content, and organization, you will find a categorized text listing of virtually every unique item appearing here and where to find it (both within the initial 910 posts, and as periodically updated, the following posts as well).

Purpose: building on the idea and work of OP docpatlv, with the extraordinary head start this has provided, the grandest vision would be that over time this thread becomes a collaborative effort at a comprehensive catalogue of every piece of Clemente memorabilia ever produced (personally-owned items preferred).

<>the specific purpose of the following ‘catalogue’ is to help forum users locate images/info for an item of interest to them, to compare to their own collection, to check whether something is already on display to prevent a duplicate upload if it’s not their intent to duplicate, and to check whether an item is already displayed before requesting a different member to post something that seems missing.

Current total: thread stands at ~722 distinct items imaged (last updated Apr-26-2020)

Notes/Editorial decisions:
-I initially built a sequential list to ensure not missing anything, but by the end it became clear that such an unwieldy list was only going to be useful by re-ordering it into a handful of broad categories, to facilitate easier searching at a glance. These are divided into a few separate posts, keeping the entire list conveniently on a single page of the forum. Occasional cross-referencing seemed helpful, but I minimized this to reduce duplications and so as not to create endless subdivisions of categories. (I am aware this resulted in the lighters ending up in the “toy” category---I suppose what can be said about that is that it is a good thing for the hobby [and indeed humanity] that there weren’t enough related examples to warrant creating a wholly separate ‘Incendiary devices’ category…)

-I debated it, but in the end everything is included,* even amateur art pieces (and especially the hand puppet :)), though in the case of some items that defied easy titling, I opted to group them together and title under an entry such as “various [XYZ].”
<*a caveat regarding completeness is that for me the Net54 pages frequently fail to load images that are there, while not indicating a file is missing (perhaps it is a compatibility issue for the browser I use); anyway, refreshing always works, but I have to guess there is something else there, such as when the OP has stated “2 images of such and such”. I’ve gone through it thrice over for omissions, but if I’ve missed anything worth adding, let me know.>

-I’ve restated the item description and issue date asserted by the posting member, unless there is debate, in which case I provide the one on my interpretation to be that which the group settled on; (or if it’s something relatively common that I am confident enough about myself to relabel with its conventional designation).

-I’ve listed the date out front when it seems an essential part of the “published” item; I retain it following, in round brackets, when it seems to me a useful descriptor, but less defining of what the piece is. Occasionally confusion may be created when there is something described as a “196X Team photo” that is an image of that year’s team, but actually reprinted more recently vs. more usually, items that were produced contemporaneously; I’ve tried to navigate this.

-other descriptors are chosen here to provide the most succinct possible explication of the discussion surrounding the item; refer to the pertinent area of the thread for the full discourse.

-for items posted in duplicate I give both page/post references (only actual different items, not just when a reply “quotes” the original post and the same image tags along in the quote).

-[pg number] in square brackets refers to the thread page number where you will find the initial image posted; [post #] in square brackets is obviously the initial post, which I added for precision, but my experience is that using the navigation “Page X of X” near the bottom of a screen is the fastest way to get somewhere. (Quick tip: if the page you want is in the middle of the range and not displayed, just click any and then replace the tailing page number of the page’s web address with the page number you want, since the web addresses for these Net54 pages are quite short and tidy, and so are easy to manipulate.)

-Finally, I note that by some happenstance the catalogue begins as post #911, so now you can remember: the next time you have a Clemente collectible emergency and need to source an image, you know where to go where you can text-match through the screen using your browser’s “find” function and immediately know which post to jump to…

The End.

And now,
The beginning…

The End again.

Wow... That's crazy!!! Wow. What a great reference!!

And now, to continue the fun...
 

Now that the catalogue above is done, how about this one, which I suspect is a good bit more scarce than the one I posted on the other side. (I've observed 2 auctioned, but then, I only recently got back into collecting and am far, far from the expert here...)

This item hadn't appeared yet in the thread in either its intended cut or this uncut form, and I think it's pretty cool. I don't have it out to measure but I'd say it's roughly 8x10 in this full form:

1972 Puerto Rican Stickers (uncut)

Wow!!!!
 

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

What a herculean effort Mike!! Thank you. Now to find some stuff NOT already listed :D

Disclosure - Most of these are not owned by me:
1955 Rookie Contract
1955 Puerto Rican League baseball yearbook
1960 World Series RIng
1971 World Series MVP plaque
1968 Test 3D uncut sheet
1967 Punchout - grey background variation
Autographed ball thrown out as the 1st pitch in the game Clemente hit #3000

Wow!!! Thanks for the list and for taking the time to put that together. I will, in the future, be posting more items from time to time as new acquisitions are made. I’m sure others will as well. It would be nice to have some sort of expanding checklist to review.

Thanks again for doing this.

Mike

It is my pleasure to be of service.
I do plan to keep up with it, and do so by using the edit function on the existing list---as the whole list is one place seems the only way to keep the whole thing user-friendly.

Wow thanks for the amazing resource.

Beckett issue #50
 

I came of collecting age in the grand ol' year of 1988 and remember getting as a holiday gift that season the complete pre-built factory set of Topps baseball, straight from the toy section of the JCPenney catalogue, for $25 if memory serves. Good times.

It wasn't long before I discovered monthly price guides on the newstand and the joy of fixating on those little up/down arrows of who was up this month from $0.50 to $0.75. Wow! Good times again.

Anyway, I soon used my own savings on an annual subscription to Beckett BBC Monthly so it would come right to the front door, and I'm sure could hardly believe it when one of the first issues after activating my subscription would have been the one below, their 50th anniversary issue that you may recall (near 30 yrs ago now!):

Lol...those damn up & down arrows. I remember, when something would move up $5-10, thinking I was sitting on some gold mine. And conversely how pissed I would get when something I owned had a down arrow.

Yeah, and how they knew that a 1989 Donruss Mark Lemke rookie card went down from $0.20-something the prior month to precisely $0.17 cents the next will remain a hobby mystery for all time. (an actual example; for old times sake I flipped through it a bit when I made that scan above.)

and FYI in that issue:
-the Clemente rookie was "up" to $800 in NM condition [at least I think that's what the right hand most column was meant to be indicative of for vintage, but I couldn't find a key in that issue confirming that, not that NM meant the same then as it does now in the era of professional TPG]
-the '52 Mantle was holding steady at $6600
-and on the monthly "Hot-Cold" list, Mike Greenwell and Greg Jefferies were holding strong in the top 5, having traded each other for the second and third spots from the prior month (Canseco held at #1 of 30); meanwhile, some new kid named Griffey Jr cracked in at #20 from previously 'not-ranked'....I recall that he was very favorably scouted at the time and with a lot of optimism as well, but still no one could have known exactly how that was going to eventually play out...

1972 Kellogg's pack
 

I picked this up recently. Not sure whether they are often seen in other circles? vs. I wonder how many were thrown out by stores or the manufacturer when the sell-by date passed on the primary product...

1972 Kellogg's single card pack

Very few around
 

The PSA pop report ranges from 2 copies graded (1970 cello, 1971), 3 copies graded (1970 1 card pack) to 6 graded (1972). I have seen the 1972 pop up from time to time, less often the 1970 single - almost never the 1970 cello and 1971 single! I believe I already posted pics of one of the boxes they came in with a pic of the Clemente card and an uncut sheet of the 1970 cards with Clemente. I clearly remember telling mom to get Kelloggs cereal to get the cards in the mid 70's - I don't think it was as early as these - more likely 1973-1976. I was starting to save things already, but never thought to keep these in tehir packs - couldn't wait to open the cereal box and dig through to get the cards!! Boy did I eat a lot of cereal when the cards were there!

Those are beautiful Howard and Empty77. Not a crack or curl in sight:D

Yeah, mine's actually a 10, but I cropped that out b/c I didn't want to seem too much of a braggart...oh, oops.

But I don't have any of the others at all and actually never seen them, so I'm quite handicapped in quantity and diversity. I guess I take my role here to post what I may have so as to coax others like Howard to 1-up it (or in this case, to 4-up it!)

Not really trying to compete or 1 up anyone.
 

My biggest joy in collecting has always been sharing things that others may not have seen or know exist. An extension of that has been seeing things I didn't know existed - as this thread has accomplished a number of times. I have definitely focused on diversity. So when I saw the post of the sealed 72, I recalled that I had the others and hadn't posted them. I don't really care much to brag as much as collaborate with other Clemente collectors to understand what is out there. The thrill of the hunt over many years has been AWESOME! So thank you to those who have shared their collections on this thread and please see what I post in a light of sharing rather than bragging.

This thread inspired me to take some toys to work today:p

Mike that Clemente bank looks much better in your photo than those I’ve seen presented in the past. Wish the Orioles would have made one of those stadium pieces too.

Empty & Howard,

Great Kellogg’s cards. I dont have any still sealed😩

Mike,

You’re a brave man bringing those into work. I still need to get one of those plaster busts.

Thanks the banks are two of my favorite pieces. My staff think that its rather strange that I have such toys at work. They have no idea of the relative rarity or value of the banks. Due to this there is little risk at all and there is certainly no interest in them.

The small stadium model is mystery to me. To date I have collected three versions of it in differing color and sticker combos. I actually have a large roll of over 500 of the green infield stickers I assume were used in production. I have no idea how the stadiums were packaged or marketed. If anyone has any info regarding them I would love to here from you.

Ok, so that eclectic display is going to be a bit more challenging for me to catalogue than the average post on this thread....

1962 Exhibits (w/ red stats back)
 

ok, I think will complete the list of known Exhibit Supply Co. variants for the thread:

1962 Exhibits -red stats back

No need to do so. Roberto was my favorite player but I collect his entire early 1970s crew.

1962 Salada coin "180" back
 

Howard, these are roughly evenly split, no?
(I agree w/ you it would have been nice if TPGs kept track of them and considered them a variation of each other.)

1962 Salada/Junket coin "180" back

1962 salada 180
 

Not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I believe the 180 back is much tougher. Anyone out there confirm that?

180
 

Yes 180 is tougher

Good to affirm my mind still works. Thanks Larry!

Thought I would share a couple of original slides shot by James Drake of Sports Illustrated. I picked up these last week.

Great slides Mike! Are those from “soxphotos”?


Not sure if this was posted by Howard before, but this is a new pickup for me. Was definitely a tough one for me to find.


1957 Jay Publishing...


https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...1958JayPub.jpg

Good news or bad news?
 

Well,

That is NOT a 1958. It is however a 1957! Both of those issues are incredibly difficult, but neither as difficult as the elusive 1956. See attached scans of the 3 (1956 batting pose, 1958 close up Portrait). A complete shame(sham) that PSA will not recognize/holder the 1956.

Thanks for the correction Howard, I changed the date.

Yes they are from soxphofos. I have picked up a number of very attractive images from him and i am going to make a few high quality giclee prints of a couple to frame. Those Jay Publishing cards are beautiful. I'm glad I generally limit my efforts to Clemente items manufactured between 1970 to 1973. That being said I was tempted by the Clemente Tuscany Statue in the most recent Lelands auction. I'm sure I will regret not bidding more for it.

https://auction.lelands.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=91223

I did recently pick up a 1971 team photo pennant. I had no idea one existed so I was both happy and surprised by the opportunity to add one to my collection. It has condition issues but I am pleased nonetheless. It is the same format as the 1970 and 1973 versions of the same. I will post it when I have it in hand so it can be added to the list.

I have a run of photo pennants from 1960-1971 including 2 different from 1960 and 2 different from 1968 as well as a 1965 All Star photo pennant with Clemente. Don't recall that I've seen them from 1972 or 1973 (Is Clemente on the 1973?) Definitely a steal on that Tuscany statue!

I don't own either of those two. All of my Pirates pennants (9 different ) are from the 1971 season. He doesn't appear on the 1973 version.

With a print run of 21,000 this must be the not-particularly-limited edition Statue Dedication patch (cf. "Day 41", pg 15 post #150)

I pulled it from a box of mementos in the basement; it's unopened.
(I can't say I remember it at the time, but re-reading it now IMO the write-up comparing his life to a base-path is a bit corny).

Similar to one Howard posted. Wish it had his photo and was in better condition, but sometimes you take what you can get. Not sure why there are so few of these out there, but they are rarely seen.

1973 Funeral card...


https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...uneralCard.jpg

https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...eralCardBk.jpg

Apparently these fans were meant to be signed. I saw this newspaper advertisement on another site. I thought I'd share it.

Pirates Fan
 

That fan is so cool to begin with...add the autographs and it’s just off the charts!

Yes, rats fan is one of the coolest pieces of memorabilia I’ve seen. Wish I could pick up a bat fan for a buck fifty.

Super Cool Ad Mike!!
 

Thanks for sharing. I believe I have seen 2 autographed (including Floyd's). Great sales pitch planting the seed to have them autographed, but how many actually did..........

The article reasoning for the '60 WS outcome is fun too.

I believe they both came from the gentleman who made the fans. A friend had him come to a show back in the 80s with 2 and he sold him one of them. I saw another at auction years later.
