365 Days of Roberto Clemente

Mark I was offered 2K for that item this weekend and passed. I'm sure that was quite a crazy for me to do.

That’s a decent offer for the glove/box. Hopefully you’ll be able to pick up another and be able to sell with the other... I was just kidding a little bit by calling it a Brooks piece (even though Clemente is pictured as well).

Floyd,

Holy crap - that was a HUGE score!! I own the only other 20 piece Clemente I have ever seen in 30 years - and yours is in MUCH better shape than mine!! Insanely tough box! Who had it? What is it graded?

Mike,

1 - I agree that 2k is an insane number to pass up for that glove and box
2 - If it was mine, I might have passed it up too!

Anyone on here win the 1967 Disc that just ended by the Topps vault? Crazy tough item!!

Thought I might make a run, but didn’t think it would go that high.

I sold one a couple of years ago for ~4k! Thankfully have 1 in my collection - or I'd have owned it myself - I thought someone "stole" it.

Hey Howard,

I won the Test Disk. I'm not sure I would have stayed in for much more though, but I thought I had seen one listed on ebay as BIN for a lot more a while back and then it was gone. Was that yours or someone else? (The one I remember I'm pretty sure was already PSA-ed, so perhaps that would result in a premium.)

Also, what else can you tell us about them? There is at least one that is not "progressive"? If so I'd rather have that, but for now this will do. Are the other progressives out there different colors so there is only one of each primary color, or is it not really known how many of each are out there?

And if I want this slabbed I could send it in as is and let PSA handle it? I was a little unsure based on how it was described as being mounted on cardboard backing, as far as whether that was now permanent, or just how Topps was adding a passive backing just to stabilize it?

(and no comments necessary from the gallery about having spent that much $ on something I didn't fully understand at the time, as I am already quite well aware of what I've done!--but when starting to run out of things to buy and having the monthly budget start to stack up, it makes me antsy to spend it on something, even if it's something outside my more comfortable knowledge base...)
