Wow that Forbes facade is an incredible piece! Rob I know you added to your amazing Giants collection! I will go with this as my favorite 2024 pickup. In order to obtain this Roberto Clemente game used bat I completed a large trade with the Clemente Museum. I paid dearly and let some pieces go that I never believed I could. Nonetheless those pieces I parted with are where they always belonged.
This U-1 is from 1965-68 and measures 36” and weighs 38oz. Roberto won two batting titles and an MVP during this period. It has lots of use and great patina. Clemente’s #21 is light but legible and he wrote a few details in pencil on the knob. Best of all he scored the barrel with many long groves that are clearly visible on the face of the bat. I met up with John Taube at the National and he gave it a PSA 9. I believe this is my nicest pickup ever.
