I have never seen a Clemente snapshot sell for anywhere near this amount. I was out at $55.00.

I think the fact it's a very clear image of Roberto signing is very appealing. Especially because he's renowned for his tough auto.

This is a really great companion piece for any Roberto auto!

Another possibility is a few of the bidders might've been kids and were at pirates spring training that year. And hey maybe even got Roberto's autograph! A real dream scenario that people would definitely pay up for.

I was shocked at the '71 Clemente snapper hammer price as well!

Yeah, I was watching that one as well. I would have paid $150, so was surprised it went that high. I really like the image though.

Here are a few recent no-hit pitcher snappers that I have added:

Jim Maloney 1960's snapshot. Maloney tossed two no-hitters in 1965 and 1969 in addition to an unofficial no-hitter in 1965

One personal HUGE score was finding a group of 18 snapshots that were taken of HOF Nolan Ryan warming up prior to the game on 8/15/93 @ CLE. Nolan got his last career win in this game- #324. What makes these snappers extra special is I own Nolan's game used full uniform from this game!

A great signed color snapper of Vida Blue on the mound when he dominated in the early 1970's. Blue pitched a no-hitter in 1970.

Finally, a signed circa 1968 snapper of no-hit pitchers Ray Washburn and Bob Gibson. Oh yeah, also some guy named "Lefty". He had a pretty good career too...

I don't think that I've posted this previously. Golfing photo of Clark Griffith with golf club setting up a shot watched by Walter Johnson - purportedly from Johnson estate.

Here are a couple pages from my Bill Davidson scrapbook which include photos of Zack Wheat and Davidson screwing around with guns. Also a page of the Brooklyn Dodgers on a Spring training trip.

Not from the estate, but very cool nonetheless.
