Howard, Your friend has some incredible Clemente GU items! Does he collect cards too? And that Esso frame is fantastic! I have the coin, but no frame. |
Neat items Howard, and ditto-ing Mike, I have an esso but not the frame. Never actually seen the frame in action before.

I usually only collect Pirate items produced between 1970 and 1972. However, after viewing Phil Apostle's work (Banty Red) I decided to reach out and ask if he would accept a commission to create a 1/1 1952 topps card of a 1971 Roberto Clemente. He agreed to create this custom card for me. The image is from an original slide in my collection. I am happy I reached out to Phil. I consider this an art purchase for my collection.

I purchased this one of a kind unframed artwork on Ebay over 20 years ago. The artist did it in 1995. I purchased it directly from him for $60. It is art board done in chalks and acrylics and you can see the tape residue from where he had it held in place while working on it, adding to its authenticity.
Neat little back story to it. Adding to its provenance: He also typed up a letter describing his inspiration for doing the piece. It involved an article he read in a 1993 Issue of Smithsonian Magazine while waiting in the Dr.'s office. He sent me the magazine as well as the letter. The artwork itself is about 20 X 24, 31 X 35 framed. |
