So, I pulled a large format box out of storage and took pictures of a few oversized Clemente collectibles.
First up is a Laughlin giant stand up - My understanding is Bob Laughlin used to set up at shows and offer these for sale. I guess either he made a very limited number or they didn't go over so well as they are pretty tough to come by. Next is a 1966 Harmony Milk Pirates place mat - not for everyone, but a super rare item nonetheless Next is.... well I'm not sure exactly what it is - I believe it to be hand painted and I loved it when I saw it. I believe I saw 1 other similar one somewhere. Last for this post is the same image from the 1973 Allied Printing memorial postcard - except this one is about 8 1/2 x11 and blank backed - cardboard stock. Never seen it before or again. |

The ticket stub I have posted in this thread earlier. The Program I just won from the Hunt auction. In the lower right corner of the program you can see that this program was personalized "To Vera" from Pirates team doctor Joseph Finegold. The program in its own right is near impossible to find. When I hold it, I imagine each of the players signing it for Vera and what a bittersweet day/game it must have been. So happy to have won it.

1971 Houston BBWA dinner program. Interestingly, the only autographed items I have are because of my desire for the item the autograph is on. I think I own less than half a dozen autographed items. This is one of them. This program once again is near impossible to find. Kind of enjoy the fact that it has multiple autographs including Clemente.
1973 Post Gazette - Pittsburgh Pirates Album set - including Clemente as originally issued. Last up is something a bit outside the scope of most of my collection as it has no picture of Clemente on it, just the words "Adios Amigo Roberto". It is about 9x12 and the photo is mounted on heavy stock cardboard. It just evokes a bit of sadness when I look at it. I do not know its origin. |
INCREDIBLE stuff Howard!!!

I have always liked the Allied Printing postcard. This and the 1972 Pro Star Promotions are two of my favorite oddball Clemente items; and on both, Howard, you have an amazing rarer variation ! |
