I am trying to confirm the existence of a 1960 complete bazooka box with Roberto Clemente. Does anyone own one or know someone who owns one - a scan or contact opportunity would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are looking at it all wrong Larry. Think of it as imitation which represents the most sincere form of flattery

Certainly meant no harm in using your words! I would liken it to Al's interpretation. I saw something I liked and I used it! I am really beginning to think it may not exist somewhere! I have checked auction catalogs from every major collection that was sold from Copeland to Halper and not 1 complete 1960 Bazooka box of ANY player! I knew you had a few (which 3 may I ask?) I owned 2 for about 5 minutes 20 years ago (I forget which ones) and currently own 2. Never seen or heard of a Clemente. I have even tried e-mailing the likes of Larry Fritsch - nothing. You "only" have 3 and Bob has no complete boxes - that in and of itself says a lot.

So! Really - any leads appreciated.

Those are not complete boxes. Only panels with part of the box still attached. I was an under bidder on a number of the Bazooka lots from that auction. Still a pretty awesome accumulation of bazookas.

Larry,

Thanks. I will try Keith and John.
