Default Clemente, Clemente, Clemente

I have been collecting Roberto Clemente cards and memorabilia for the better part of 30 years. I collect(ed) his regular issue cards and was looking for all of his oddball cards. When I had acquired most of the cards and found it difficult to find additions on my want list, I started Clemente sub collections of: Clemente on magazine covers, Clemente on front or back pages of newspapers, Clemente store model gloves, Clemente mini bats, Clemente store model bats, Pirates photo pennants. Today I can count on 1 hand the items I am still looking for - every once in a while (couple of years) run across something I didn't know existed. Interesting - my "grail" for about the past 20 years is a complete bazooka box from 1960 with Clemente. - anyone out there able to "make my life complete"?
