Opinion on Clemente???

[guy3050]

Bought a opening day Expos program from a gentleman who was at the game in 1969 , He also has this Autograph on the cover of a 1969 pirates program , The Autograph looks like Clemente , Is it Clemente and what would be a ballpark figure as to the value

Looks good to me.

Thanks for your opinion , I too strongly believe that it is real , the provenance is solid, The gentleman got it signed in 1969 at Jarry Park before a game , he has no idea of value , I want to make him a fair offer , any opinions on what this could be worth , He only kept the cover page of the program , and the page has not seen much light in the last 50 years. The signature has not much faded over the years.

Thanks for your opinions

I know it's sacrilege but you'd probably get better value for it if you were to cut a nice square where the signature is and turn it into a cut vs signed cover. I would never suggest that if the program were complete, but a cover page only isn't the most compelling medium.

Seems like cuts routinely outsell baseballs with Clemente. Without it already being authenticated, I'd offer $300 for it. After authentication you could probably double your money pretty easily.

Looks good IMO.

I'd value it in the high hundreds.

Could always switch the cover out.
