This thread has become must reading. It seems like 50% of the new postings/days have brought something I haven't seen before. And love the '61 Clemente as well Pete.

Sorry for the bad cell phone pictures. This is by far my favorite Clemente card. This is one is missing the yellow ink and one of the few real unaltered missing yellow ink cards there is. The second picture is from before I had it graded. The center card is a normal card from the same set and the bottom card has very low yellow ink Mantle.

I did not know that variation existed. Is yours the only one that you are aware of? Very cool, thanks for sharing.

It is the only one I have seen. I found it a few years ago while looking through a ton of 75 Topps for error cards. I was hoping SGC would label it as a missing yellow card. The grading companies quit doing it because they have been fooled so many times by faded cards. I even sent them proof that that year the yellow does not fade off without seriously changing the look of the whole card, didn't help.:(

It looks amazing in hand, it has very strong magenta and purple colors compared to most MVP cards from the set.

I see your bank has both American and National league player bats.
On a side note I have a bank with all the National league Team bats.

Quitcrab,

I have no idea how it was sold. I won the bank off of eBay a long time ago. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to interchange the bats though. As long as it has the Roberto, I'm good. :D

Ben,


It definitely seems easier to find the banks with team names. I had one similar to this, but with team bats, so I sold it.

Day 54

I've seen pictures of Bill Mazeroski's 1960 World Series HR countless times and I've always wondered if Roberto was in the large group waiting for Maz to cross home plate. However, I had never really made an attempt to identify Clemente until I purchased this next item. With a little bit of research I've determined that, sure enough...he's there!:D He's the third player from the left (without his ball cap). Note the man behind him in the white shirt with his hands on Roberto's back.

The following photos were found online and helped me positively ID Roberto...

Photo shows Maz approaching home with Dick Schofield (# 11) and Hal Smith (# 5) waiting at home, with Roberto just to the right. Note the man/boy in the white shirt standing directly behing Clemente with his hands on Roberto's back.

It's the same image on the '61 T WS Game 7 card, and I always wondered if Roberto was in the group too. Great work. That side-on image proves it.

(for fun here's the card. It's actually not in the PSA master set for Roberto, but in light of this, maybe it should be!)

Day 55

This neat little viewer has an eyehole to look through and a button on the bottom to rotate through the photos. Pictured inside are Clemente, Stargell, Mazeroski, Walker, Cash, Sanguillen, Alou and Hebner.

When I purchased this item off eBay years ago, the seller had somehow managed to capture the images in jpg form. I had saved all of the images, but somehow over the years, I managed to lose some of them. So I will just post the images that I still have, luckily Clemente is one of them.

These don't show up very often, I have only seen one other Pirate viewer in the last 20+ years.

Day 59

I'm basing the date of this next item by the players (likeness) portrayed on the front of the box. Roberto on the left and Brooks on the right. I'm assuming the production of the game was shortly after the 71 World Series, but I could be wrong. I don't believe there is a copyright date on the box.

I'm also attaching a photo of Roberto that is similar to the caricature on the box. I know that I have seen a similar image of Brooks leaping with glove extended, but I could not find the image (maybe Mark has one?).

Mike,

Another wonderful item that I have not seen and didn’t even know was out there. I understand that some wouldn’t consider this a Brooks piece, but I sure would. I’ll have to add this to my waitlist.

I think this game may be a bit later than the ‘71 you presume. I’d think it was probably put out around their 2nd WS appearance in ‘79. I could be wrong, and it may be after the ‘71 WS. Probably some of the game collectors would know for sure.

As far as the Brooks image I’ve definitely seen this leaping photo before and I think it was in an ad (possibly Sporting News or something like that). Believe it was a B&W image as well. If I come across it I’ll post a pic. I know I don’t have the actual photograph itself; have a couple leaping ones, but not this one.

Mark, you are spot on! Don't know why I didn't just google it, but there is a website related to electronic baseball games that states it was produced in Japan by Toy Town in 1979.

Yes; same with the Orioles. On the Jays there are quite a few with the same pose with very minor cropping differences so it’s hard to tell the years unless you have the original picture pack. On the team issues there were the est 5X7 size, but you could also have some that are original 8X10’s and back in the day order even larger like 11X14. Some of my favorite items to collect, but wish they used a larger variety of poses at least with Brooks.

These ties were awarded to the players and front office staff of the 1971 Pirates by team sponsor Iron City Beer. Clemente's facsimile signature is included. This particular tie originated from the estate of Bob Moose. There is also a black version of this tie I saw on display at the Allegheny Club at Three Rivers many years ago. I recall that one belonging to Bob Prince.

1972 Pro Star Promotions Poster
 
Mike,

In another thread, on the memorabilia side, the 1972 Pro Star Promotions Posters were mentioned. Clemente was included in the grouping of some of the players included. I’ve never seen one and was wondering if you happen to have this poster. Howard stated he did have one and if you don’t have the poster hopefully he’ll post a shot of the piece.

By the way, some very nice program/scorecards and folder!

docpatlv 03-09-2018 09:33 AM

Mark,

I have the ProStar postcard, but was not aware the posters even existed until I saw that thread with the Stargell poster pictured. Pretty cool, but apparently very scarce. Would love to see Howard's Clemente.

Don't know if you saw it, but there's an early Brooks signed postcard on eBay (1958).

If it’s the one I’m thinking about I’ve seen it before. It’s a very nice, bold, early autographed postcard, BUT when the postcard was sent through the mail it placed too many PO markings on the front for my taste. I really do prefer the early postcards that go through the mail since most of them you can see the date (like with this example). I don’t mind the marking either , but if they are on the face or detract from the piece I pass even if it is fairly rare.

Howard - that poster is truly amazing. It's so much crisper and clearer than the post card image

Really enjoy newspaper cutouts especially when they were designed to be cutouts.

By the way I ran across an example of an ad with the picture that was used for the 1971 Galoob Mr. Baseball game. Somewhere along the line someone glued it to a board to frame it, I guess, and now it’s just a mess, but at least you can see where the drawing derives from.

I'm almost positive I saw the Brooks pose in that book "This Great Game". Thanks for sharing.

1960s Pirates Coin Bank (Pittsburgh Nat'l Bank)...tough to find with bold red stitching.

Thanks Mark! You've gotta get a Brooks thread going.

Day 74

There aren't a lot of period Clemente postcards out there, at least that I've seen or am aware of, but this is one of them...

How bout a goal for next year. I have tried using my phone to post, but the pictures have been small. I need to get another computer since mine has reached life expectancy. Hopefully with a new one I can size the pictures correctly and make for a better Brooksie thread. For now it’s all about Clemente.

Absolutely love all the odd ball stuff you have posted in this thread. How long have you been collecting Clemente stuff?

Thanks Ben, I appreciate it. I’ve probably collected Roberto stuff going on 25 years or so. Some years very heavily concentrated on him, the last 3 years not as much as I put together the T206 (518) and most of the T205 set, in addition to trying to add some other pre-war items. This year, I’m back to concentrating on Clemente and a couple of other interests.

1960 World Series Champion bat fan with Clemente on the C blade. These seem to be a bit scarce at least on the left coast. They are difficult to find with all the blades attached and the tassel is often missing.

Mike, I want one of those bat fans!!! That has been on my wantlist for quite some time. I actually lost out on one towards the end of last year. In hindsight, I probably should have bid higher as they don't seem to turn up all that often anymore.

Day 75

Similar to the tie that Mike showed the other day, I believe this next item was only given to Pirates front office personnel...

1964 Noble Pirates...

Very cool lighter I haven't seen one of those before. I wonder if there is a 1971 version.

Mike, I have only seen the 1964 lighter.
