Cool looking bank! Just a great collection of items.

Thanks Mark! You've gotta get a Brooks thread going.

Day 74

There aren't a lot of period Clemente postcards out there, at least that I've seen or am aware of, but this is one of them...

1973 Allied Printing postcard...

How bout a goal for next year. I have tried using my phone to post, but the pictures have been small. I need to get another computer since mine has reached life expectancy. Hopefully with a new one I can size the pictures correctly and make for a better Brooksie thread. For now it’s all about Clemente.

always loved this one.

Absolutely love all the odd ball stuff you have posted in this thread. How long have you been collecting Clemente stuff?

Thanks Ben, I appreciate it. I’ve probably collected Roberto stuff going on 25 years or so. Some years very heavily concentrated on him, the last 3 years not as much as I put together the T206 (518) and most of the T205 set, in addition to trying to add some other pre-war items. This year, I’m back to concentrating on Clemente and a couple of other interests.

Mike

1960 World Series Champion bat fan with Clemente on the C blade. These seem to be a bit scarce at least on the left coast. They are difficult to find with all the blades attached and the tassel is often missing.

Mike, I want one of those bat fans!!! That has been on my wantlist for quite some time. I actually lost out on one towards the end of last year. In hindsight, I probably should have bid higher as they don't seem to turn up all that often anymore.

Day 75

Similar to the tie that Mike showed the other day, I believe this next item was only given to Pirates front office personnel...

1964 Noble Pirates...

Very cool lighter I haven't seen one of those before. I wonder if there is a 1971 version.

Mike, I have only seen the 1964 lighter.
