Ok maybe that's what I saw years ago. The Mays numbered panel.

So were the numbered 71 Bazookas never issued but cut off of sheets?

Day 154


I am 99.9% sure that Roberto is at the far right of the photo. I did do a little research in the past and the only other player this could have been is Earl Francis. But based on the body posture, I think it's Clemente.

I agree that’s Roberto I think it’s April 9, 1963 opening day at Forbes. I posted this photo earlier. Clemente and Maz getting gold gloves and braves are seen milling around in the background.

I think You may be right Mike. That’s a great photo, but the first time I read your post, I read it as Clemente and Mazeroski receiving “old” gloves, lol.

I used to see quite a few numbered singles that were clearly hand cut and unfortunately very sloppily. I have never seen a complete assembled box flattened or otherwise. I do believe all panels originated from and were cut from sheets.

Good stuff George!


Day 155


Mike posted one of these earlier in the thread. An eBay seller has listed a bunch of these over the last couple of months. Not one of the best he has offered, but some of the nicer images went higher than I wanted to go.

Day 156


This next item is one I was burned on in my earlier days collecting Roberto. I purchased it off eBay in the mid 90s, framed it myself, and had it in my collection for a few years before I realized the signature was no good. One day I was looking at some of my Clemente items and noticed that the facsimile signature on the 1971 Arco photo matched the signature on my signed piece. I kept it as a reminder to be more careful when purchasing RC signatures. Over the past 20-plus years, I feel as though I have become much more competent in determining authentic signatures.
