Howard,

Apparently you and I share the same "sickness". Unfortunately, in the past, that led to me purchasing a lot of newer items.

Received the photo today, thanks! I'll post it somewhere down the line.

Did you ever get into buying these?

Rats,

Yes, I did buy some jersey cards, but I ended up selling them. I will post some newer stuff later on, but it’s mostly memorabilia.

The huge majority of my collection stops at 1973. I have left the door open and own some cards and memorabilia post 1973 that I found visually appealing. I have never collected bat or jersey cards as the idea that companies are destroying pieces of history to manufacture "rare" new cards is appalling to me.

Just thought about 1 post 1973 item I have as yet been unable track down - in 1975 money magazine had a cover story which featured images of some Clemente cards- I have a copy of just the cover - anyone see or have the magazine?

Howard,

I have not seen the magazine you are talking about. Can you post a pic of the copy of the cover?

There are a lot of reprints of this next item out there, but this is an original.

Day 126


ca. 1970s Facsimile signed team baseball...

So, I got the year correct and the title wrong. It is "renaissance pittsburgh" magazine. Do you know if that is tied to the Pittsburgh renaissance hotel? A couple of other Clemente items while I'm at it. A rare - 7x9 team issue photo, a more modern print of a great image of Clemente holding a baby, a 1973 Bradenton program with Clemente cover and a 1969? Food land photo album.

Here is a mid 60s 8X10 Ballentine Beer premium photo. Does anyone know the exact year these were issued?

1964 - maybe? I know the photo (w/o the ballantine id) was part of one of the 8x10 team picture sets. If no one else chimes in to confirm, I will try to do a little digging.
