Need help identifying these 1970's? pins!

Couldn't resist. How about a Momen mini bat?

I know these are probably the least interesting items to most collectors, but can anyone identify the three Clemente items that look like Jay's Publishing photos or team issues? I really like the batting pose one. Is it tough to find?

Hi Paul,

From the best information I have collected, all 3 are team issued photos. The "Bust" shot in the second post is 1957 for sure. My best guess would make the batting pose 1956 and the head shot 1955 - still have to compare to yearbooks - so I could be off. All 3 are ridiculously rare. Each is the only example I have ever seen. The '55 and '56 I picked up as part of a 30 year collection from a guy who grew up in Pittsburgh. The '57 I picked up as part of a 12 photo team set at a Robert Morris show ~8 years ago. Are you a Clemente collector?

Ps. Do you like the stadium advertising card?

Thanks again Howard. Here are a few more pics-

Wow -great Clemente items guys! I have to compare that bold auto to the one on the 67 Poster Sticker; my memory indicates they look the same which may help authenticate the 67 sticker.

EDIT-I am now advised the stickler auto is believed to be most likely ghost signed.

SWEEEEET Santurce photo! Where is that from? I am also unfamiliar with the postcard you posted after it? PLease post more. This is better than being at a card show (except you can't buy the stuff ) Any other Clemente fans - feel free to join in.
