Wasn’t that a late 50s issue? I don’t think racism created the scarcity. He had not emerged as a star player at that point in his career. There was likely a low production run due to that? There really aren’t many Pirate player pin-backs from that time period in general that I’m aware of. There aren’t many Clemente pin backs outside of the one in question and these that I know of. Even some of these are scarce. If there are others I’d love to see them.
