365 Days of Roberto Clemente

[71buc]

Thanks for the info Howard. I did see that auction and also came away empty handed. Somehow I missed the 1960 ring. I see there are 100 more Clemente family lots in their current auction. I bid on a few but remain pessimistic about my chances.

Some of the prices were stunning. Some not so much imo. I was on the phone almost the whole auction. I took home about 5 lots - coolest one I believe to be Clemente's 1954 learners permit with photo. Of course where many of the other lots were falling within the estimates a couple that I REALLY wanted and went after hard, blew the estimates away! Really wanted that 3000 hit Vase from the team with facsimile auto's - I wasn't even close. Under bidder on the gold medal from PR. Such is life. Glad to have won a few. Have many bids on the current auction too! We'll see when the dust settles.

Day 95

I won this next item on eBay last year and when I received it, I was surprised at how small it actually was, even though this is the smaller variation of two coins. There is also a pendant version in addition to the two coins. I posted a picture with a quarter for size reference.

Day 96

Just as I was surprised at how small the coin I posted yesterday was, I was similarly surprised at how large this coin was. Much larger & heavier.
