Just an opportunity for those whose names we see all over the internet - CU forum or Net 54 or ebay or ..... to get together and meet the faces behind the names and talk Clemente. Put the date on your calendars!

    Very nice dial
  • Hi guys,
    Just an interesting story. I am not a Clemente set collector, but was fortunate to win the PSA registry run for 1000.00. They asked me what I wanted and I said - anything would be most welcome. After they pressed me a bit - I told them anything from the 60s and two players came to mind: Clemente and Koufax.
    I told them to surprise me and here is what they sent

    Baez578,

    Thanks for posting your recent Clemente; of course that is one of the cards I need for my 1970 Kellogg's set. It's a beauty!!!

    Thanks.... I'm especially happy as it was a self-sub. Finally some success with subbing Clemente cards image

    Henry,

    That's pretty cool that they asked you what you wanted. I thought it was pre-determined.

    Just noticed that the SluCha team of Howard and Brian just made it to 100%

    Congrats to the two of you -- quite an impressive effort. image
  • Chris - AWESOME! Tough pick ups. Congrats on moving up in the rankings!

    Scott - Thanks for the recognition. It is a labor of love and feels great to have achieved 100% (We had it for a day or 2 before the closing of the award deadline and then a bunch of new items were added). I am hoping to organize an informal meet up at the 2014 national for Clemente collectors. Just putting the word out. Be well and happy collecting to all.

    Can't believe this threads been buried. I'm going to have to post some of my new purchases later this week image
  • So,

    The national is around the corner and I am taking my 7 year old son to his first national! Any other Clemente collectors going and want to try to meet up and talk Clemente cards-memorabilia?

  • Well,

    Almost 4 years have passed since my last post (and the last in this thread). I am now getting ready to take my 9 year old and 11 year old sons to the national. Any other Clemente collectors going?
    Brian decided to sell off his part of our set. I am rebuilding with mine - currently #5 - have a couple of rare beauties. I refuse to send my pristine 1962, 1968 and 1971 Bazooka boxes to PSA so they can fold the tabs to accommodate their holders. Have picked up some AWESOME stuff since i last posted and will start to share. Who is still out there collecting Clemente - please post - let's try to keep this thread active - started in 2009!! I'll start it out with 1 I'm not sure if PSA will grade - it is a 1960's Horne's department store issue - from a 1 day appearance by Clemente .

    Hi Howard! :)

    The only sorta new Clemente item I have is this '59 Kahns card from a submission last year.

  • burghmanburghman Posts: 797 ✭✭✭✭

    I don't suppose anyone Clemente collectors are in need of a Wendy's hologram card from '94? I have one that's never been removed from the Wendy's holder that's looking for a home - just cover shipping and it can be yours. I know it's not part of any official Sets but figured you guys might appreciate it more than me... PM me if interested.

    Jim

  • A little more Clemente eye candy!!

    Awesome Kahn's Bob!! Super tough in that grade. How's your 58?

    Hi, I'm Ken. My set is currently #16 in the registry, "The KC Collection." I found this thread when looking up the Allied Memorial Postcard to learn more about that. While I have been a member of these Boards for years, I never knew about or participated in this thread. I've mostly been adding items in whatever grade I can find/afford and upgrading as I can. I love the oddball cards!

    This was a fun thread to read through! Thanks to those that laid the groundwork for the weights and showing pictures of some of the harder items to find. I wish some of the photobucket pictures were still working as I love seeing new items.

    Here is my most recent pick up for my set:

    I have two more making their way to me in the mail and I will post those when they arrive!

    Thanks for reading, I hope this spurs some more activity :)

    Picked this up from a fellow board member. These jumbo slabs are huge! It didn't fit on my scanner so i had to take a picture with my phone.

    Haha, yea, I resurrected an old thread a few months ago. Didn't seem right to start a new one. It's mostly just been me talking to myself but glad to see a new comment that wasn't mine :)

    Yes, I'm enjoying the Arco. Still trying to save up for your ESSO, just other shiny things keep popping up and draining my card budget!
