Great slides Mike! Are those from “soxphotos”?


Not sure if this was posted by Howard before, but this is a new pickup for me. Was definitely a tough one for me to find.


1957 Jay Publishing...

1958 Jay Publishing...

Well,

That is NOT a 1958. It is however a 1957! Both of those issues are incredibly difficult, but neither as difficult as the elusive 1956. See attached scans of the 3 (1956 batting pose, 1958 close up Portrait). A complete shame(sham) that PSA will not recognize/holder the 1956.

Thanks for the correction Howard, I changed the date.

Yes they are from soxphofos. I have picked up a number of very attractive images from him and i am going to make a few high quality giclee prints of a couple to frame. Those Jay Publishing cards are beautiful. I'm glad I generally limit my efforts to Clemente items manufactured between 1970 to 1973. That being said I was tempted by the Clemente Tuscany Statue in the most recent Lelands auction. I'm sure I will regret not bidding more for it.

I did recently pick up a 1971 team photo pennant. I had no idea one existed so I was both happy and surprised by the opportunity to add one to my collection. It has condition issues but I am pleased nonetheless. It is the same format as the 1970 and 1973 versions of the same. I will post it when I have it in hand so it can be added to the list.

I have a run of photo pennants from 1960-1971 including 2 different from 1960 and 2 different from 1968 as well as a 1965 All Star photo pennant with Clemente. Don't recall that I've seen them from 1972 or 1973 (Is Clemente on the 1973?) Definitely a steal on that Tuscany statue!

I don't own either of those two. All of my Pirates pennants (9 different ) are from the 1971 season. He doesn't appear on the 1973 version.
