Although I am terribly biased I think these are two of the most attractive portraits of the early 1970s version of Roberto I have seen.

Cool. Can you get a photo printed from a slide? I’ve kinda been considering a Giants slide.

My understanding is that you can for personal use only not commercial use or sale. I plan on making professional high quality professional prints to frame with Clemente memorabilia. I think it's cool to own the original slide/negative and the only print of a nice image. There is an ebay seller that is buying these slides and generating prints for sale. I am surprised he is doing so without issue.

You absolutely can make high-quality prints out of slides for personal use.
Here is an example of one that I made for myself out of an original professional color slide of Sandy Koufax's 18K game at Wrigley Field in 1962.

I framed it with a mid-1960's signed index card that I owned. It turned out great and resides right next to me at my desk.
