June 2010 Pick-ups

Hi Al,

Yes, the Mile High find was good in a lot of ways. I read that the seller didn't want any #'s released pertaining to how many were in the find (not sure why). I think Drent stated he could have placed all the Plaks from the find in the pockets of his coat.

I am a Clemente collector, but had put his items on the backburner as I chased after pre-war items, but I had to pull the trigger on this one. Are you aware of the Clemente variation on the 68 Plaks?

I have seen the 1967 Topps Disc of Clemente, but the seller was asking $10,000. Not sure if he still has it. I missed a Clemente punch-out on e-bay probably 8 years ago that sold for $100-150 (still kicking myself).

And one of these days I'll go for the 1968 3D.

Mike

I was not aware of a Plak variation other than the Mantle. What is the difference for Clemente ? I have the 67 Discs ( Giants and Regular) done but not the 68s ( I have only managed 3 of those and no Clemente). I have the 67 Punch Outs and the 3Ds done, except for the recent proof cards.

Mike:

Is one of the Clemente's numbered and one not?

Dave,

I'll try to get a post up showing the difference tomorrow. I have to find where I have the images saved.

On the Mantle it is the nose. One is referred to as the "big nose Mantle" and the other a "normal nose". I think Bob (Bob's Mantle too) has a big nose. Very tragic
