Thanks for the shout out Nicolo. Being a Clemente collector and a lover of the odd and rare - helping others find things like this is the next best thing to unearthing any of the few things left on my Clemente want list!
For anyone reading this who has or is looking for any specific rarities (cards, food issues, test issues, regionals, etc.) I invite you to PM me what you have or what you are looking for as I keep a database with the information and often times can connect the right buyer with seller. I also accept select items on a private consignment basis (NOT an auction - much greater price control) to offer at shows, social media and to my private client list. I have helped a number of board members sell single items and entire collections - PM me for further details.

If anyone knows more please correct me by showing the same player on both the 20 and 25 gum count box.

There are only 3 players with known boxes. Ironically, the 2 known Mays boxes are the different size variants. Of the 4 Mantle boxes - 1 is a 20 piece box and 3 are 25 piece . There is only a single example of Jackie Jensen - a 20 piece. It is likely the balance of the players were produced in both sizes though it is improbable that many if anymore will surface. That said, for no explainable reason PSA does not differentiate them when grading nor requires both for player master sets.
