Day 282
I really like the simplicity of the original 1960s Hartland statues and the way they actually look like the player. Even though a newer issue, I think the 1990s issued Clemente has the look and feel of the originals. The 2006-07 issues, not so much. 1990s Hartland Statue...  2006-07 Hartland Statues...

This looks like the place to ask if anyone knows what these were cut from. I’m guessing it is from some sort of outer packaging.

Matt, I have been collecting Clemente for a long time and have never seen those items before. They both have that "fantasy piece" look to me. I could be wrong, as there are always items that I haven't seen, but that's my initial impression. Mike Day 283 1970 Topps poster. Really like this set of posters and they can be had quite cheap...

Hi Mike,
I have been collecting Clemente since my teens and I hadn’t seen them either. My reason for thinking they aren’t fantasy pieces is where they came from. I’ve done my work on them and to the best of my abilities they seem legit. I hope it’s not my inner child speaking though.

Need more info and better scans
Quote:
Welcome to the board. The images were used on a number of different items. Would be helpful if you could - 1- provide better and closer scans of the front and back, 2- Provide dimensions and paper stock and 3 - fill us in on "where they came from" that makes you believe they are legit. All the best. Howard

Not at home right now so I need to measure when I am. I ran them by a few old timers on the hobby, including my father who has been in the business since 1961. I grew up in a card shop. These came from Jim Beckett. I’ll get better scans up when I can.

Day 285
1966 Pirates pocket schedule & Team photo (w/ overprint)...  Similar to the photos I posted yesterday, this next photo (not mine) is a 1966 photo without the overprint.  It wasn't until this year that I saw a photo with the red KDKA & Foodland overprint on it. It was in rough shape but I was happy to add it.  And as it always seems to happen, after having never seen one and purchasing it, a nicer one appeared a few months later so I was able to upgrade.

Irv, You learn something new every day. I think there’s a signed document on eBay right now where he signed Roberto Clemente Walker.

I hope it's okay to share this story (lifted from SABR bio page):
Yankees (and former Met and Pirate) 2B Neil Walker's father was Tom Walker a right-handed pitcher in the 1970's and this is his connection to Roberto: 'Walker and Moore decided to play winter ball in Puerto Rico, along with Expos pitcher Balor Moore and some members of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Roberto Clemente was their manager. Years later Walker felt fate entered his life again. On December 31 Clemente planned to fly in a plane carrying supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Clemente told Walker and the other players to stay behind and enjoy New Year’s Eve in Puerto Rico. That night Clemente’s plane burst into flames shortly after take-off and plunged into the dark waters. Walker said he would forever remember that day and how the island was devastated. Clemente’s fellow Puerto Ricans revered him. Out of respect for their fallen hero, the league canceled the balance of the season. “I can still remember it like yesterday,” Walker said. “We left the airport and it was the last time I ever saw Roberto Clemente. He saved my life by not letting me get on the plane.”

Nice! That one is in beautiful condition. That pin is very tough to find.

Trust me, it’s not. The paper photo under the laminated portion of the pin is vey wavy (warped), not sure how that happened. The laminated portion is not flush with the paper photo and I think that’s how the paper became wavy.

Mine is missing the laminate but the paper is firmly affixed to the button. That issue with the lamination may be a design error? That might account for the scarcity?
