Re: April 2017 Pickups

'69-'72 Roberto Clemente bat:

I picked up this Clemente bat that is just destroyed with use, has a real heavy pine tar application on the upper handle, scoring across the barrel and 21 on both the knob and barrel end. It's the most extreme bat of his I had ever seen, just love it, a real war club. It's supposed to be tied to the '71 playoffs, but no way to tell for sure. Clemente definitely went to using pine tar on the upper handle at the end of the 60's and into the early 70's. You can see it in the many photos from the '71 WS, especially. I had not found one close to this in the open marketplace, so thrilled to be able to get it.

By far the nicest Clemente I have ever seen. Doesn't get any better than that! Glad I got to see it in person!

Re: April 2017 Pickups

Was lucky enough to pry this Hank Aaron gamer from Ben (Gorilla777) last week. 69-72 PSA GU9 really nice use, some pine tar. A great example all the way around. Very happy to add this to the collection.
