365 Days of Roberto Clemente

[hcv123]

The ticket stub I have posted in this thread earlier. The Program I just won from the Hunt auction. In the lower right corner of the program you can see that this program was personalized "To Vera" from Pirates team doctor Joseph Finegold. The program in its own right is near impossible to find. When I hold it, I imagine each of the players signing it for Vera and what a bittersweet day/game it must have been. So happy to have won it.

1971 Houston BBWA dinner program. Interestingly, the only autographed items I have are because of my desire for the item the autograph is on. I think I own less than half a dozen autographed items. This is one of them. This program once again is near impossible to find. Kind of enjoy the fact that it has multiple autographs including Clemente.

1973 Post Gazette - Pittsburgh Pirates Album set - including Clemente as originally issued.

Last up is something a bit outside the scope of most of my collection as it has no picture of Clemente on it, just the words "Adios Amigo Roberto". It is about 9x12 and the photo is mounted on heavy stock cardboard. It just evokes a bit of sadness when I look at it. I do not know its origin.

Thanks so much for posting the Houston BBWA program; I’ve never seen this one before so I can now add it to the list of items that are out there.

I live those bazooka cards. You and Howard have posted some serious eye candy this week.

I especially appreciate that the Bazookas bothered to utilize different pics, unlike say the Exhibits or many of the team issue/pack items year after year that often seem to just recycle the same base photo.
