Roger Clemens NEED ANSWERS!

[BigFiveOh]

So I acquired this autographed flyer/card from a friend I met while working. She used to clean the home of the Clemens and got to know them very well. She had quite the collection and was kind enough to send me an autographed baseball, an autographed photo and this flyer/card from his first game as a Blue Jay. I have never seen anything like it and it seems rare to me as I can not find it on any memorabilia websites or forums! Anyone know anything about it or know someone who may know?

According to Baeball Register it was not opening day, it was the second game of the season. Attendance was listed as Thirty one Thousand so a SGA should not be scarce. But an autographed version might be.
I looked it up because I thought that Opening day attendance would be high and so this would be an accessible SGA. And opening day attendance was higher at 40 thousand but 31k for a seond game of the season is pretty strong. The draw of Clemens and the White sox with Frank Thomas pretty strong in 97.

Good catch Jonathan.
Interesting that Clemens didn't get the Opening Day start -- that went to Pat Hentgen, who won 20 games the year before. Hentgen went 8 innings and left the game with a one run lead, but the White Sox won it in ten.

Yes, my thinking was the signature being on this. I have looked and looked and yet to find another. Maybe its worth something, maybe it isn't. I have not one earthly idea!
