Back when there was more material available - I had seen them 3 or 4 times. Back then sold upwards of $1000. I have not seen one offered in many years now. It definitely exists. When I have time I will try to find it and post pictures. There are a couple of other ceramic Clemente pieces that are even more scarce - photos when I come across them. I believe I have seen a 3rd player (I forget who) also.

The item I have never seen even a photo of - 1960 Complete Bazooka box featuring Clemente. All the best.

Howard, thanks for the info I can't wait to finally see an example of one. I would love to see the other ceramic Clemente pieces as well!
