1964 Bazooka Stamps (small panel)

Michael,

Sorry, just saw this post. I love the Bazooka Stamp. I still don’t have one. I was outbid the last time a full sheet was offered on eBay.

Hope you’re doing well and anytime you pick up any Clemente items, I’d love to see them.

About 4-5 years ago I saw this next item on eBay with a reasonable BIN. As I frantically rushed to make the purchase, someone must have beat me to the punch by a few seconds and purchased it before I could.

Earlier this year, I saw only the second one I've ever seen and was able to make the purchase. Either side could be used, and I'm sure many were, which is why I've only seen 2 examples.

1965 Complete Sports book cover...

So COOL! Have never seen these book covers. Congrats on the pickup...

Intersting
 

I thought the image looked familiar:

It also appears to have some evidence of having had a couple of staples? Could it have been an insert in a magazine (I believe there was a magazine called complete sports). Perhaps a related giveaway. What are the dimensions and paper stock?

Here’s a copy of my magazine. If you look under the “B” in baseball, it says Complete Sports underneath. I have to check the dimensions, but it is on glossy paper stock similar to a magazine cover. It could have been a magazine insert. I’ll measure it tomorrow and see if it’s the same as the magazine.

Howard,

Yes definitely staple holes, so I’m guessing a magazine insert. I’ll have to check the inside of the magazine we posted. You never know.

How funny would it be....
 

If it IS in the magazine and you had it under your nose (in the magazine) all this time and didn't realize it!

Yeah, I don't have any of the larger '64 stamp sheets either. But for confusing fun here is the '62 Topps stamp single. I never seem to see them often enough to remember which is which without checking. Someone already posted the side-by-side double with E. Howard (post #553) but there is another with E. Battey that I don't own to be able to add here (sure, we could grab a stock image from somewhere but I think it's more fun if people post from their own PC). Anyone know how they were issued and so whether there are other combinations that can be created with Clemente?:

They were inserts in the packs of 1962 Topps baseball cards. There are two combos with the Battey being the toughest. I own both.
