Mike that's great you were able to finalize the deal. Would be a great addition if you were able to secure the signed program as well. Congratulations all around. Keep us posted as to the results when you receive everything. Very interested in seeing the specifics as is many others here I'm sure.

WOW! Best Clemente find I've heard of in a while. Really curious about the ticket and program to the banquet - It wasn't the dapper dan dinner was it (Clemente was Honoree in 1962, 1967 and 1972)? Please send photos as soon as you can. So excited for you.

Thanks Howard, The tracking number indicates that the slides will arrive tomorrow. I will post the photos as soon as I have prints made. I am pretty excited about seeing them. Here are photos of the program and stub as well as the autographs. The seller said that he will reach out to me about selling the program in January. What do you think would be a reasonable price for it?

I converted the slides to JPEGS tonight. They are definitely amateur photos but still I greatly enjoyed them. I paid $1 per slide and they were well worth it. The Dapper Dan Photos were very poorly lit but Clemente, Stargell, Kison, Sanguillen, Prince, Murtaugh, and Satchel Paige were included. It's ironic that a year later Paige would join Clemente in Cooperstown. The Cooperstown slides did not include the induction ceremony but did capture a few interesting shots of the Clemente plaque as it was displayed in 1973. The World Series shots were taken form the Right Field grandstand so they lack detail. The Sept 29th shots were taken form the first baseline and are interesting. The shots from September 30th are about the same as the print I purchased from the seller in April. The seller included slides from an old timers game between the 1960 Pirates and Yankees. There were a few photos of Mantle and Berra included and some fun shots of Clemente and Maz as they line up wearing the new Pirates Polyester uniforms contrasting the flannels of their ex teammates. This sequence contains Clemente getting hit 3000, Schnek and Milner throwing 3000, Clemente standing at second, leading off of third and scoring. Just as it is with most things in life these slides were not as good as I hoped but much better than I feared.

Hi Mike,

AWESOME slides - thanks for sharing. Regarding the program and stub - They are awesome too - very hard to find! The program often has a crease in it because people at the dinner folded it to carry in their pockets - the one you show has no crease. The stubs are incredibly rare! Yours is only the second one I have seen. Without the autograph I would estimate the program and stub at $100-$150. I don't follow autograph values and don't feel qualified to speculate on the premium attributable with the autograph. I hope that is helpful.

Thanks Howard, I am meeting with the seller in Seattle next March and will attempt to add the program to my collection at that time. I have one In my collection already but it is of the unsigned variety. I went through the rest of the slides and picked out the best of September 29th and Game 4 of the 1971 Series. Below are those from September 29th when Clemente reached first and it was ruled an error.
