ca. 1970s Stadium Giveaway Snapshot photo...

1 - That photo is part of a tri fold cardboard handout - There was room for that photo of Clemente - another space for you to put a photo of yourself and I think some of Clemente stats or accomplishments. I have one somewhere - I'll post when I find it.

2 - The Congressional medal comes in 4 variations (Not including the 2 solid gold ones minted) - large - numbered (1-1950), large unnumbered (50), small bronze and small gold plated (don't know the quantities on those) - I do have one of the gold plated small ones I will post when I find it.

3 - Plug - I consigned a really nice 1962 Kahn's Clemente to Heritage for anyone interested: https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...ignment-112816

Thanks for the info Howard.

Day 99

1968 Team Issue Photo...Not sure how to tell the difference between 1967, 1968 and 1969 team issued photos. They all look the same to me. There's an eBay auction right now with all 3 listed in one lot and I can't seem to tell the difference. Anyone know?

I'm not sure how the '69 compares to following--haven't seen one, but the '67 and '68 differ in subtle ways. The '67 has a smoother/glossier type surface whereas the '68 is almost imperceptibly rippled-like. Also, the '67 has ever-so-slightly wider boarders, whereas the '68 has an ever-so-slightly larger photo compared to slightly narrower boarders (the whole card of course measures exactly alike).

That shot (obviously if it was clearer) would've made a really cool looking baseball card!!

Very cool photo! Pirates added numbers to the front of their jerseys in 1962, so it was taken before that. Looks like some kind of platform is set up around third base behind him.
