They said anything related to Clemente was highly sought after. I saw one 1969 MLB Pinback but at $500 I couldn't pull the trigger. I saw one Clemente bust bank in poor condition. There was one 1960 World Champion fan missing the tassels. I also saw two pair of sneakers in the original boxes. Both sellers were asking $1400.

I noticed a lot of high prices too, but there were some items that were reasonably priced. It seems that there are a lot more Clemente collectors than when I first started out, so dealers are starting out high. You have to try to haggle them down to something reasonable.
