I am no autograph expert. I have collected Clemente cards and memorabilia for over 25 years. I agree with the above post and do question the authenticity of the Clemente signature on the balls posted. His name mattered to him - A LOT. Especially so early in his career. Aside from the posted balls I too do not recollect seeing a "Bob" signature signed by Clemente. I have seen many signed Clemente items. Perhaps some of those board members more "expert" in autographs could weigh in with their opinion and experience.

Personally, Topps' changing his name to "Bob" on cards from 1957-1969 absolutely ruins the cards for me. I LOVE his 1963 and 1967 cards, but just cannot/will not spend the money on them due to them saying "Bob" instead of "Roberto".

New Heritage auction has a separate catalog for a Clemente collection. Not one of my focuses, but amazing stuff.
