365 Days of Roberto Clemente

I know the winner - he emailed me this morning. Sadly I also had the seller of the box "saved". Just never saw it till I saw his email this morning. Also the only time I've seen this item.

If my posting this info here bothers anyone let me know and I will not do it again. I just listed a bunch of great Clemente items on ebay:
Willing to work out a deal off ebay for anything with no bids.

Ps. For those who may not have heard:

We lost Vera Cristina Zabala Clemente on November 16th - RIP Sweet woman - condolences to family and friends.

Not sure if any of you collect print error cards but avoid this Clemente like the plague. There is a 99.99% chance it is faded and the .01% it is real is walking through the door on the way out. 1958 Topps fade the yellow off very easy and this has all the signs of being sun faded. Especially the dirty looking area that should be yellow.

I am selling a REAL missing yellow Clemente so was looking to see if there was anything listed on eBay when I seen this thing.

Ben,

I think I’m in agreement as to the faded 1958 Topps card.

Here’s a newer purchase. Have never seen another, and didn’t know it existed until I saw this example. Surprised by the relatively large size as it measures 25” x 30” unfolded.

1972 Dimanche-Matin newspaper supplement poster...

Nice addition Doc! I can't recall if I've seen it or not.

So almost everyone is familiar with the 1972 Daily Juice Fan club card - probably the most common inexpensive card from Roberto's playing days!

Less people are familiar with the Harmony Dairy variation - same front photo and different back printing and much tougher to find

Well, feast your eyes on this! The only one I have ever seen - mislabeled by PSA as Daily Juice in fact it is "N.Y. Friends of Roberto Clemente"

If the card above is blank back...is it a Pirates team issue ?

Think this is cool. Looks like the common card, but it's a different backing. Love it Howard...
