A Clemente memorial card should've happened. There was ample time and everything.

![]() This thread made me think of a blog I read during the heyday of baseball card blogs about a decade ago. Not a person I know, but I remembered this writer created a series of custom cards on this subject. Glad he's still writing, not many are. http://whentoppshadballs.blogspot.co.../In%20Memoriam

Topps did honor Cory Lidle in the 2006 Topps Update release. Picture taken from eBay.

That Clemente mock-up should've been card 660 that year - with apologies to Fred Scherman.
Yes - the WTHBB site is still up and something I check almost every day! |

JustinD -- Thanks for posting the 1973 Topps Roberto Clemente # 660 SHOULD HAVE BEEN. The card would have been dignified and appropriate.
I don't know how, but someone should send this mock-up to Topps, to be used as a 50 years ago tribute. Just wishful thinking ... --- Brian Powell |
