I saw that. It was originally offered with an opening bid of $300 and was sold for $800, hours later. I figured a high end pin and/or Clemente collector just had to have it and didn’t want to f**k around. Actually, I thought it might be you! :p

I’m the very definition of a low end Clemente collector

Thought I’d share a recent pick-up related to these elusive pin-backs. This negative is obviously from the same photo shoot. There are subtle differences between the Clemente pin-back from this series and the photo discussed in posts #55 and #80. I purchased this negative from a dealer in Ohio. The color image is my own crude attempt to digitally manipulate the image of the negative to provide an idea what the print would look like.

Please. If you’re low end, I’m below grade. :p

I’m always excited to see an addition to this thread. These are all very cool, but the Clemente is just amazing.

If anyone has a spare Pappas or Horlen, I would be interested....:cool:

The Clemente Museum recently confirmed the Clemente negative I purchased recently is an original from the same photo session where the image used for the button was taken. Their photographers recently used it to make this image. Obviously it differs slightly from the picture used for the Clemente pin nonetheless it’s a striking image I thought others would like to see. They printed a 17X22 print for me.

Mike,

That is an awesome photo; love it. Do you have it displayed yet?

It's a stunner, Mike!

Can't imagine a better photo of The Great One. The clarity and colors are off the charts.
