June pickup thread

[71buc]

This just arrived. I upgraded my 1971 Roberto Clemente Brooks Robinson WSS Glove box. There are three of these boxes that I know exist. A member here owned this box. Out of respect for his privacy I wont out him. Nor will I reveal my insanity by sharing what I offered for it. I hope he knows how grateful I am. I have pestered him for two years and finally wore him down. He has been very understanding of my desire to own this box. I am more than than a little excited that he decided that it belonged in my collection. I sold my original box for a good amount to an advanced Clemente collector in Chicago. That took some of the sting out of the purchase. I have to believe the only way to get a better conditioned box and glove combo would be to buy a time machine.
