Day 223


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...

1971 Action photos uncut sheet

Clemente sneakers new with tags in original box

I had to sell some stuff to raise funds for my divorce - this was one of the items to go. It is a store model glove that got the "gold glove treatment". I have never seen another. I feel better knowing it is in a good home! Hey Mark - another item for your Brooks want list!

I know I’ve never seen the Clemente/Brooks “gold” glove before. Pretty cool item; may be a one of a kind piece. I’ll snag the pic and save for future reference.

Great pickups Howard! That uncut sheet is very nice. At first I thought it was the same as the photo I picked up from you, but then I noticed it was slightly different. Any idea who issued the photo you sold me?

Beautiful items Howard. That glove is awesome.

It is a team issued photo. PSA doesn't grade them, but other than the couple I've owned, I don't recall seeing them around.

Day 225

Mike, Ever since you posted this piece I have been searching for one for my own collection. At every turn I encountered a dead end. Last month my local card shop asked me to examine some Clemente items they were selling on consignment . I was stunned to see this one among those items. The card and autograph were obtained by the owner when he was a child. He said he got it when his dad took him to a promotional event at a local Pittsburgh department store. He obviously took great care of as its in pristine condition. I was certain that it was an authentic autograph. Nonetheless, for my own peace of mind I decided to make an offer contingent that it pass TPA. It just passed JSA. I sold some non-Pirate items that were not terribly important and closed the deal. To say that I'm thrilled is an understatement. I'm sharing it here because those in my immediate social circle are less than impressed and in disbelief that I actually spent "THAT KND OF MONEY" on a "LITTLE PICTURE" I'm surrounded by Philistines. Happy Holidays to all of my more enlightened friends here on Net54.

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.

Cool shoes and sheets Howard!
