Let's pay tribute to the three greatest players from the fifties & sixties, which were the childhood years for many of Net54 board members.
I'll kick it off with this classic card... Attachment 8049 |

Foul ball hit by #21 on 8/14/62 at Forbes Field. Some time later, my younger brother took it outside to play ball with friends. Then, years later one of my sons used it outside....With physical therapy, both fully recovered.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces...

A few more. I am always looking to buy or trade for rare or unusual Clemente items - NO regular issue cards. Food issues, Test issues, regionals, etc.

Oddball Mays Card
|
Neat Mays card. I hadn't noticed this type before, so I looked it up (from FKW's site http://centuryoldcards.com):
"RARE - These 2.5" by 3.5" crude blank backed cards are fairly rare, and were attached to a small white plastic statue with a rubber band. They were made by Robert Gould Inc. of New York. There are 2 notches on the sides and 2 holes punched into the card so the rubber band can attach the card to the statue. The individual cards are actually worth roughly six times more than the individual statues. There are 28 numbered cards in the set." |

Here's a great Aaron uniform sold by Heritage Auctions back in October 2007. There's no question that the Braves had the best uniforms in the Majors.

Boy Mark. Those photos of Mays and the 500 HR Club are terrific!
I just love them. Haven't seen either one before (which is one of the best things about collecting News Service Photos). Thanks for sharing and would certainly like to see more of your collection.
Best, Jimmy |
Thanks for the kind words Jimmy.
The more I am on this board, the more I realize how much great, and undiscovered, stuff there is. Tonight I am going to post something that will make all NY Giants fans cringe, and perhaps, cry a little. I just have take the pic tonight. Look on the "Giants" thread later. |

Clemente rookie era signature. Dated 1955 or 1956 by JSA on an official Giles ball. His early signature is far different from his later signature. Beauty.

Jimmy - first dibbs?
That shot is TOO cool! One of the best Clemente photos I've seen. I am sure it would be at the bottom of the list, but if it ever comes time to think about selling, please keep me in mind.
