He was also the first mail order dealer starting The Card Collectors Co. in the 50s.

I know of at least 2 other Clemente items that I own the only ones I've seen:
1) 1967 Topps Pinup sticker
2) 1956 Team issue photo
I am sure there are other items with only a copy or 2 known - that doesn't mean that's all there are.
I agree the Stand Up is exceptionally rare, but I have one and know at least 1 other board member that does - neither of which are graded by PSA. I remember only a single copy being offered in the last 30 years - it was as part of a set and is the one owned by the board member I referenced.
