Wish I could find that 62 Jell-O Clemente.

Really like the sneakers, box and tag! Never seen them before...

I've been on the heels of those at least 3 times, but never had them. Sneakers are tough - box is tougher! Nice one!

Brian,

Nice photo! Was that from Hunt's auction?

Day 39

1972 Topps Poster...probably a candidate for an upgrade at some point.

Which poster do you like better the ‘68 or ‘72?

Mark,

I like them both, but probably the 1972 better.

Day 40

Up next is a snapshot photo of Roberto and possibly teammates/other MLB players attending what appears to be a little league game (based on the player at the far end of the bench). I have made a small attempt to identify the gentlemen sitting next to Clemente, but have met little success. If anyone has any ideas as to who they may be, please feel free to post.

What I love about the photo is how close the general public is to Roberto and others and how they genuinely seem more interested in the game than being in the presence of MLBers.

Not sure on the date this photo was taken but I'm guessing.

ca. late 1950s-early 1960s Snapshot photo...

No idea who else is there either, but love the photo!

Day 41

In the past I would buy anything that had to do with Roberto, but currently I try to focus on purchases from Roberto's actual playing days. I do still acquire newer items, but on a more limited basis. Two newer items that I still like to purchase, if they appeal to me, are patches and pinbacks.

This next item, I was told, was produced in very limited quantities (I believe I was told less than 50). I have not seen one show up for sale in a long time, so I think that number might be accurate.

1994 Ltd. Edition Statue Dedication patch...
