And Pete, nice card! |
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.

Ben,
I did not know that variation existed. Is yours the only one that you are aware of? Very cool, thanks for sharing. Day 47 ca. 1960s Pan American Photo... http://photos.imageevent.com/docpatl...PanAmPhoto.jpg |

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

ca. Late 1960s-Early 1970s H&B Baseball Bat Bank... http://photos.imageevent.com/docpatl...70sBatBank.jpg |
How was the bank sold ? National leauge and American league? Was it a surprise when opening the box to find out what random player bats surrounded the bank ?
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. |

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. 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates pocket schedule... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...esSchedule.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ScheduleBk.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...uleCloseup.jpg 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. https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...neous/Maz2.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat.../517727188.jpg |
Incredible Detective work Mike!!
You have so far posted 2 pocket schedules I don't believe I have - the Otto Milk and now the 1961 Dollar bank (I have the one from 1970) - I know you have extras of the otto milk, how about the dollar bank? Love to work out a trade at some point.

great sleuthing

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!) Attachment 306371 |
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. 1969 Fun World Viewer... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...orldViewer.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ewerPhotos.jpg |

Day 58 1972 Expos Revue de Baseball Magazine... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...sMagazine3.jpg |
Here's one for you Mark!
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?). ca. 1971 Galoob Mr. Baseball game... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...GaloobMrBB.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...aloobMrBB2.jpghttps://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...tebatting2.jpg |

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. |

Jays
Love the Jays picture packs! I assume the Pirates had both the Jays and the Team issue picture packs, correct?
|
Hi Mark,
Yes, the Pirates did have Jay picture packs and also team issued photos. I know there are some of each that I still don't have. Same thing with the Orioles? Mike |

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.

Nice Mike! I've never seen that one either.

This is the greatest thread ever! What a great idea! I can think of no one more deserving of such a tribute...well, perhaps Jackie.
I am having fun seeing you, the OP, being exposed to pieces you don't have and hoping, for your sake, you will be able to add those to your amazing collection. Your level of devotion is inspiring! Thank You p.s.- I am editing to add that I just notice my post is on page 21 - Cool! |

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! |
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). |

Day 70
1990s Sports Icon Bust and 2 diff. sales sheets... This bust is large and heavy and reportedly limited to 500. The sales sheets show this bust and also another available of Roberto with bat. I had oppurtunities in the past to obtain the one with bat, but passed. Probably should have pulled the trigger as these don't seem too readily available today. https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ementeBust.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...SaleSheetA.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...SaleSheetB.jpg |

WHOOPS, NEVER MIND - saw it was the pro star poster that was asked about, not the post card (which is fairly common, I think) |
MCoxon,
That's a nice postcard in great shape! I was wondering about that print line on the left. I thought I had seen one without it, but I could be wrong. Mine has it too. Howard, That is *%#@ awesome! Never seen one before and yours looks to be in nice shape. Would look great framed! |

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. |

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.

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