Those are some great looking store model bats. Love the variety of styles that you have in your collection.

I really like the simplicity of the original 1960s Hartland statues and the way they actually look like the player. Even though a newer issue, I think the 1990s issued Clemente has the look and feel of the originals. The 2006-07 issues, not so much.

This looks like the place to ask if anyone knows what these were cut from. I’m guessing it is from some sort of outer packaging.

Matt,

I have been collecting Clemente for a long time and have never seen those items before. They both have that "fantasy piece" look to me. I could be wrong, as there are always items that I haven't seen, but that's my initial impression.

1970 Topps poster. Really like this set of posters and they can be had quite cheap...

Hi Mike,

I have been collecting Clemente since my teens and I hadn’t seen them either. My reason for thinking they aren’t fantasy pieces is where they came from. I’ve done my work on them and to the best of my abilities they seem legit. I hope it’s not my inner child speaking though.
