Clemente, Munson autographs from the year of their deaths.

RedHeart54

I have seen a signed 1979 Topps Thurman Munson in an auction. I haven't seen one since (and I have no idea what the hammer was for the one I saw). Does anyone know of any more of these? And does anyone know if a 1972 Topps autographed Roberto Clemente even exists? I'm just curious.

I've seen a few 72T signed Clementes over the years (they certainly exist).

Not my card

Curious, where did you find that '72?

Edited to add that I found one that sold in March for almost $1600 (though it was the IA card).

This is a really cool topic! I was wondering about the Ashburn Hall of Fame postcard myself that was put out right before he died. I've seen it once signed and authenticated by JSA or PSA but can't seem to find it...

The Wentz group had a 72 IA Clemente autographed card a while back . I haven't seen any Munson autographs though.

Clementa has a 1973 cards, so the trick would be to find one of those signed........

Not sure if you're aware or just joking, but to be clear if you ever find an auto'ed 73 you know it's a fake because Roberto's plane went down New Year's day 72/73 and his 73 card was produced in 73, after his death.

Ian - I have a Rich Ashburn autographed HOF Postcard. I think there are a few of them. The tough Ashburn, I believe, is the Perez-Steele Greatest Moments; those things are significantly rare [probably less than 5-10 signed]

I recall over 10 some years ago there was an ad of signed cards in Sports Collectors Digest which included a "signed" Bart Giamatti memorial card.....

Look what THIS is up to!

When were the 1st series from 1973 released? I think I remember getting packs in my Christmas Stocking. So, maybe someone did have one earlier than that and got one signed by Clemente?

Wow, that Munson is already over $2K....I could see wanting that if I was a Yankee fan or a big Munson fan. Good luck to the winner! Hopefully it's a fan that will add it to their collection and not some 'group' looking to flip it at a later date.

That Munson is a stunner of a signature. Clemente seems to always sign cards in ball point and they never turn out well with his large complex signature. His sig looks good on paper in ball point, but I would like to see a Clemente signed in thin marker like that munson.
