This one sold in a Goodwin auction for $428.40 in 2012.

Howard,

Appreciate you letting us know about your experience at the National. As pretty much a single player collector myself it would be neat to hear if you were able to pick something up of your player and/or see something you've never seen before. As you, I've had plenty of experience with dealers thinking an item is worth "way" more than the going rate or price people are willing to pay. I guess they'll haul the item around and keep it in their inventory. You would figure a person who collects that player exclusively, in your case Clemente, would know what the item is really worth rather than the dealer selling the items; oh, well.

I'm so glad you had the opportunity to take your son to his first National and it exceeded your expectations; can't get any better than that!
