Great stuff. Just over and over again, great stuff.
I have a sense that come day 365 you'll still have items left to share? Does that mean on day 365 we'll get a sort of Grand Finale with everything there wasn't space for, or might the steady parade continue on into a year two?

Thanks Empty77, that means a lot! I’ll definitely make it to Day 365. I still have some tough items to share, but I think I definitely shot my wad early, lol. After 365, I will probably add to the thread periodically, like David does with his Brock thread.

Day 220


It took me a while to acquire this next item. It doesn't appear too often and usually goes for a decent amount. Happy to finally purchase one.

I know with Brooks there were two different size mirrors; is it the same w/Clemente?

I have only ever seen 1 size Clemente mirror. That said, I have seen (and own) a cardboard version of it that I believe was used to promote it.

I am not sure why, but believe that 70 team issue has eluded me.....unless laying in a box somewhere.

Had a great time at the national - actually found a couple of neat Clemente items - 1971 Action photos uncut sheet and Clemente low top sneakers - new with tags in an original box!! Will try to post photos soon. Also picked up a bunch of Pirates cards with my kids for our team collection.

Did you purchase the sneakers from Chuck T?

Would that be Chuck Tomasco? Or a different T? In either case, no - Paul Kutch.

If you didn't get a 1960 bat fan yet, I ran into an old friend at the national that had one for sale - PM me if you want his contact info.

Yeah, I was talking about Chuck Tomasco.

I still need the bat fan. I would appreciate you sending me his contact info. Do you remember if it was complete and price being asked?

Thanks Howard

Edit: Was it the r.c. means seller on eBay?

I don’t know if there are two different sizes for Roberto, but he is on another mirror with 5 or so other players. A friend purchased one from eBay to give me years ago and the seller sent the mirror in a cardboard box with absolutely no extra packaging. Needless to say, it arrived in about 10,000 pieces.
