Notes: The best collection of Clemente photography we have seen. These have been gathered by one advanced collector over the past 20 years. He paid specific attention to content. Included are 41 original wire and publicity photos, 3 original color negatives and 33 later prints made from the original negatives. Sizes vary but most are 7x9” and 8x10”. Original prints include a 1955 fielding a ball, circa 1956 promo, 1958 back-handed catch, 1967 batting title, 1970 Roberto Clemente Night (4), 1971 World Series, 1972 NLCS, 1972 3,000th hit (holding signed), 1972 3,000th hit (scoreboard), 1972 reported missing, and much more. A fine collection, that obviously took decades to assemble.

Condition: A few have crop marks but the overall condition is EX.
