365 Days of Roberto Clemente

[71buc]

Does anyone know what I missed in this lot? I was in briefly as I wanted the Rawlings photo. They don't seem to become available often. Nonetheless, I couldn't justify the final price. $647.42 seems a bit excessive to me. When you include shipping it's close to $700.

My guess is that someone wanted the photo pretty badly. I can't see the store model gloves commanding that price, even if a tough glove. When I sold all of my Clemente gloves (12-15) over the last couple of years, I definitely lost money on them. But who knows

That Rawlings premium is quite scarce. While I haven't seen it sell for that kind of number, I haven't seen one sell in many (15+) years either. Not a shock if that pushed it. Also, IF the Sonnett box was connected to the Clemente glove, that would be pretty rare as well ( no where near as cool as your rawlings box though ) Agree the rest of the store gloves are no big deal ( I still have my sub collection of store model gloves and believe I have 40+ different ones)

I have wanted that Rawlings photo for a long time but not that much worth of wanting.

Day 223


1962 Exhibit Black Stats...

Always like that image. He's very confident looking there. And satisfied, perhaps, is the sense conveyed.

As most reading here are already aware I'm sure, it gets duplicated in several other issues, which is a little downer in contributing to lack of variety (though your thread goes a long way to curing that), but I suppose if there is going to be a repeating image, then that one is a good one to have been chosen for posterity.

Agreed, they did use that image a lot.

All - would love a view of how many times that image was used?
Kahn's - 1961?
Exhibits
Jay Publishing?

Also, how many variations of Exhibits and Jay Publishing exist for Clemente? I have a feeling we'll see them all before the 365 days are done...

The exact same Clemente Rawlings Advisory Staff photo appeared on eBay. I was not going to miss out on the same photo twice. I am thrilled to finally add one to my collection.

Saw it. Had a lowball bid in just to ensure it didn't sell too low (~$200). GREAT item! First I've seen in a long time. Enjoy it.
