Not to give away my secrets to competitors, but after taking to heart something I learned from some other thread somewhere, if I'm in the market for an OPC and considering two otherwise equal examples, I go for the one with the fuzziest edges, reasoning since that's a main distinguishing factor from T, then may as well highlight it...


Yup, gotta expect a little fuzz with OPC.

Have been enjoying this thread for quite some time now, great items guys and keep them coming. Would really like to add a Clemente rookie card to the collection. For now happy with this pre rookie, 1954 Montreal, minor league autograph. Haven`t seen too many autos of Roberto before being claimed from the Dodgers organization by the Pirates so when this one came around thought it was too cool to pass up. Again, keep posting the rarer the better !

Thanks Hugh! Great early Roberto auto. Did he only sign his last name on that?

Clemente Auto
 
Thanks for the compliment, and yes he did only sign his last name. Although I`ve seen a few 1954 minor league team auto`ed balls with Roberto`s full name, the story went he was a rather shy signer in person and thus flats this early are pretty hard to find. Not sure if it was the culture/language barrier but in the mid 50`s it wouldn`t surprise me at all. Hang tough, Murph

I posted one of the Action All-Star sticker panels early on (Day 20), with Roberto on the center panel. I don't have the other panel strip though. Unfortunately, I don't have the 68 3D. I had an opportunity 10-15 years ago to purchase one in PR condition for $3000-4000, but I passed. So probably a white whale for me now as I don't purchase too many big ticket items anymore.


Day 329


1987 Spartanburg Phillies pocket schedule (unfolded). Not sure why they picked Roberto for the cover, but...
