Reserve: $500.00
Winning Bid:  
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Quite possibly the single best Clemente photo collection ever offered for sale, simply for the variety of the nearly 70 shots dating back to the '50s.. Most are 8 x 10's printed from the mid 1960's to early 1970s. Signing autographs, before wedding, real photo postcards (14), his 1958 Marine Platoon (later print), in Santurce uniform (later print), with teammates, with baby son, with wife, certification of appreciation from President Nixon, 3-D style composite shot of him swinging. Some of these items are stunningly rare. All but a few are black and white. All have small pieces of tape in the corners and average EX. From the Phil Dorsey collection.
