Does anyone have an issue of the Standard catalog or any other guide that lists the 1960-61 Harmony Milk Clemente? I am trying to get PSA to recognize/grade them? The year of the publication and a scan of the listing would be super helpful hcv123@att.net


AWESOME stuff Mike!!

Just took a number of hours to go back through the entire thread - oh what fun! Posting pics of a few items I didn't see in the thread yet.

Great cards Howard! I still regret not picking up the Sugardale on the couple of occasions I had the chance. It’s been a while since I’ve added anything Clemente. I jump back and forth between collecting interests and currently am back into prewar for the time being.

Doubleheader out of PA had a beauty (clearly never in a hot dog package) at the Ft Washington show back in the 90's. They were asking $1K and wouldn't budge on price. After debating about it, I called them after the show deciding I was going to buy it. They said it had sold. Chuck Tomasco bought it (they sold it to him for $800)! Chuck ultimately sold a chunk of his collection privately to Brian Slusser. Brian got it PSA graded - it came back a 3 - I recalled it being considerably nicer, but still a really strong grade for that issue! Brian sent the better part of his collection to auction in 2016 including the Sugardale. There were I think about 6 items that were "must have's" for me in that auction - sadly I set the wrong date on my calendar and missed the entire auction by a day!! I don't know who won it and haven't seen or heard of it since.

I remember when Chuck was selling off some of his collection, seems like 15+ years ago. I kept all the auction “catalogs” that he had sent me. Do you know if he still collects Roberto?
