1966 East Hills...

I like this photo - it seems like it was on a lot of issues, if I'm not mistaken:
* 1966 East Hills
* 1967 Pirates Team issue
* 1968 Pirates Team issue
* 1968 KDKA

any others?

I believe this next item was a stadium giveaway. I have seen more than one copy floating around, but definitely a period piece.

1 - That photo is part of a tri fold cardboard handout - There was room for that photo of Clemente - another space for you to put a photo of yourself and I think some of Clemente stats or accomplishments. I have one somewhere - I'll post when I find it.

2 - The Congressional medal comes in 4 variations (Not including the 2 solid gold ones minted) - large - numbered (1-1950), large unnumbered (50), small bronze and small gold plated (don't know the quantities on those) - I do have one of the gold plated small ones I will post when I find it.

3 - Plug - I consigned a really nice 1962 Kahn's Clemente to Heritage for anyone interested: https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...ignment-112816

1968 Team Issue Photo...Not sure how to tell the difference between 1967, 1968 and 1969 team issued photos. They all look the same to me. There's an eBay auction right now with all 3 listed in one lot and I can't seem to tell the difference. Anyone know?

I'm not sure how the '69 compares to following--haven't seen one, but the '67 and '68 differ in subtle ways. The '67 has a smoother/glossier type surface whereas the '68 is almost imperceptibly rippled-like. Also, the '67 has ever-so-slightly wider boarders, whereas the '68 has an ever-so-slightly larger photo compared to slightly narrower boarders (the whole card of course measures exactly alike).

Image is a little light, but definitely Roberto.

That shot (obviously if it was clearer) would've made a really cool looking baseball card!!

I agree Darren, I bought it in a small lot of Pirates photos and the seller didn’t ID Roberto. Wish it was more clear too, but I’ll take what I can get. ;)
