That Rawlings premium is quite scarce. While I haven't seen it sell for that kind of number, I haven't seen one sell in many (15+) years either. Not a shock if that pushed it. Also, IF the Sonnett box was connected to the Clemente glove, that would be pretty rare as well ( no where near as cool as your rawlings box though ) Agree the rest of the store gloves are no big deal ( I still have my sub collection of store model gloves and believe I have 40+ different ones)

I have wanted that Rawlings photo for a long time but not that much worth of wanting.

1962 Exhibit Black Stats...

Always like that image. He's very confident looking there. And satisfied, perhaps, is the sense conveyed.

As most reading here are already aware I'm sure, it gets duplicated in several other issues, which is a little downer in contributing to lack of variety (though your thread goes a long way to curing that), but I suppose if there is going to be a repeating image, then that one is a good one to have been chosen for posterity.

Agreed, they did use that image a lot.

1963 Exhibit Red Stats...

All - would love a view of how many times that image was used?
Kahn's - 1961?
Exhibits
Jay Publishing?

Also, how many variations of Exhibits and Jay Publishing exist for Clemente? I have a feeling we'll see them all before the 365 days are done...

This is my best list of that pose being reused, but I am far from a proper expert for differentiating the various and difficult to track/identify team issued photo pack type stuff and whether more can be said about those:
‘47-66 Exhibits
‘58-61 Jay Pub/Pirates team card
‘59 Kahn’s
‘60 Kahn’s
‘61 Kahn’s
‘62 Exhibits red back
‘62 Exhibits black back
‘63 Exhibits

Re: exhibits and Jay publishing 'cards'
I know of four Exhibit 'variations', all listed above since they all share the same photo under discussion (again, sad face a little since we don't get the variety they gave Mantle or several others that had a few different poses issued over the series). The 'variations' are just backs with stats for '62 (red or black) and '63, and then blank-backed otherwise, for a total of four.

By happenstance, also four Jay pubs officially that I know (although I have seen some team photo pack cards referred to as jay pub, so I don't know and guess it depends on the definition or the provenance of the image used and what historically is still known and verifiable about them??) Anyway, there's the early series '58-61 pair, one batting stance, the other the above portrait pose. Then a late series pair '62-65, both in a batting stance, one wearing a cloth cap and the other a batting helmet.

The exact same Clemente Rawlings Advisory Staff photo appeared on eBay. I was not going to miss out on the same photo twice. I am thrilled to finally add one to my collection.

Saw it. Had a lowball bid in just to ensure it didn't sell too low (~$200). GREAT item! First I've seen in a long time. Enjoy it.

I don't believe I knew until right now that Roberto's full name was Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker. I just assumed his full name was Roberto Clemente, which is ignorant of me because, just looking up Mickey Mantle, I just learned his full name was Mickey Charles Mantle.
