Those Coliseum Motor Inn shows were great. I loved those as a kid.

I don't know. Someone has written on it. I also see some damage on the right hand flap and a stain on the back of the left flap. I guess you will have to sell it until a better one comes along.......

Congratulations. Perseverance pays off.

I have been wishing for this one for so long, I'm not sure that there is anything I know of that could take its place.......There are 2 items that may/may not exist that could be the new whales - 1962 Jello Clemente complete box or 1962 Post Canadian complete box with Clemente. I have never seen either one (I have seen other players in box form for both issues)

While either of them would be incredible finds, I think this Bazooka box will forever be the Jewel in the crown of my Clemente collection. For those who know my collection - that says a lot!
